Every year, at the end of November, the Atlantic is transformed into an immense maritime highway. Hundreds of sailing yachts of all sizes and nationalities set sail from Grande Canaria for a legendary crossing to the Caribbean: the ARC, the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers. Once again this year, two flagships of the ORC brand, AVEL VAEZ (ORC57) and CLUB 5 OCEANS (ORC50), are taking part in this extraordinary adventure.
The ARC, above all a human adventure
The ARC is not just a race, it’s above all a human adventure. Families with children, couples in search of new sensations, experienced sailors… they all share the same goal: to cross the Atlantic. The two weeks leading up to departure are devoted to nautical activities, festive evenings and exchanges between participants. These moments of sharing create strong bonds that continue at sea.
AVEL VAEZ and CLUB 5 OCEANS: two serious challengers
The ORC, renowned for their performance and comfort, are the perfect boats for crossing the Atlantic. AVEL VAEZ, with her elegance and power, and CLUB 5 OCEANS, with her versatility and reliability, are two serious contenders for this edition of the ARC.
AVEL VAEZ (ORC57) : This exceptional vessel, with its sleek lines and cutting-edge technology, is a true concentrate of performance. The name Avel Vaez, which means ‘Wind from the open sea’ in Breton, was not chosen by chance: the third ORC57 is a light, high-performance catamaran, capable of sailing in all weathers. Often sailing faster than the wind!
CLUB 5 OCEANS (ORC50) : More versatile than her big brother, CLUB 5 OCEANS is one of the favorites for this edition of the ARC 2024. The sistership to the winner of the Route du Rhum 2022 is rarely overtaken on the water.
