A four-person crew departs the Canary Islands aboard a Lagoon 51 catamaran as part of the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC) 2024, bound for Saint Lucia — roughly 2,800 nautical miles.Watch The fleet of around 150 boats starts from Gran Canaria into headwinds caused by an Atlantic cyclone, requiring an initial upwind leg toward a waypoint near 20°N 25°W before the trade winds establish.0:48 The crew carries a mainsail, genoa, code zero, and a large parasail spinnaker, plus extra fuel and provisions.1:47 Sail trim downwind on a catamaran is covered in detail: a third-reefed main with a preventer to open the boom past the shrouds, combined with a large headsail, reduces rudder load and keeps the boat tracking straight.1:40:24 At day seven, with roughly 1,000 nm covered and 1,800 remaining, halyard chafe at the mast sheave emerges as a serious problem — the same rough sheave design shared across Neel, Fountaine Pajot, Bali, Catana, and Lagoon masts that has broken halyards on previous crossings.1:50:11 The crew catches wahoo and mahi-mahi.1:18:56 Hydraulic steering on the Lagoon 51 is contrasted with cable steering on smaller Lagoon models.2:48:09
