*SUBJECT TO CHANGE*
*** Please be aware that the dates listed are subject to change. Our schedule is subject to change if bad weather forces us to delay departures, pull in to wait out a storm, we have to make any last-minute changes due to any unforeseen circumstances.

*NOTE FOR ALL LEGS*
Before setting off, everyone will also take part in cleaning and organising the boat to ensure she is ready for the journey ahead.

Bay of Biscay Crossing
Please consider joining our Bay of Biscay Crossing if you’d like to join the boat in the UK and continue on to the legs below.

• Leg 1: 27th Sept to 3rd Oct 2025 – A Coruña, Spain to Gibraltar (600 NM)
The first leg leaves A Coruña and takes the boat along the Portuguese coast to Gibraltar.

• Leg 2: 5th to 11th Nov 2025 – Gibraltar to Las Palmas (730 NM)
Our most popular leg, this normally downwind sail gives you champagne sailing conditions and a perfect way to get to the ARC start line.

There is a large chance we will be using Alcaidesa Marina in Spain for this leg. It is about a 15min walk from the Gibraltar airport. Please ensure you have checked the proper entry requirements for both Gibraltar and Spain.
