RACING
Swan 54-010 Coco at ARC 2018
St. Tropez (FRA), Sept 29 – October 7 2019
#arcatlanticraceforcruisers #arc #swantransatlanticchallenge #clubswan
A nice fleet of 13 Swan yachts took part to the crossing. Well done to Swan 80 Umiko, as well, on getting 2nd place in Division I Cruising, Swan 441 Charisma, 2nd place in Class F, and Swan 65 Vahine, 3rd in Class C. The best-placed Swan was Titania, deserving the Swan Transatlantic Challenge trophy. Swan 54 Coco attend the ARC as well and the owner has described this amazing experience:
“The ARC is organized by the World Cruising Club and is a friendly “race” for a bunch of salty sea dogs wanting to sail from Europe to the Caribbean. I’d love to say we had a relaxing enjoyable week but that’s just fantasy. Most of the other 170 yachts in the fleet doing the ARC had spent months, even years, getting prepared for this rally and we had a week – hmmmm... So while all the other participants were swilling free beer at the sundowners, we were still doing jobs. Anyway, we worked our arses off and we were still getting our shit together right up until the start gun.
