ARC and ARC+ 2024: A Swan Showcase Across the Atlantic
The 2024 Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC) set sail from Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, on November 24, with eight Swan yachts participating in this year’s fleet. Swan yachts continue to shine in this iconic transatlantic challenge to Saint Lucia in the Caribbean.
As we await the arrival of the last boats for the final results, the competition is intensifying, particularly in the cruising division, where Swan yachts are leading the way. Swan 75 Maimai has crossed the finish line in first place in Cruising A, followed by Swan 82 Nazca 2 in second.
In the ARC+ fleet, which route goes via the Cape Verde Islands, the Swan 54 Endorfina crossed the line in 5th place in the Cruising A class, securing another strong result for Swan yachts.
Fair winds to all competitors as we eagerly await the final results and celebrate the remarkable performances of the Swan fleet in this thrilling transatlantic journey!
