With bows pointed west and months of preparation behind them, the World ARC 2026-27 fleet officially got underway January 10, departing Saint Lucia to begin a 15-month circumnavigation of the globe.
The start came at midday local time in steady northeast trades of about 15 knots, ideal conditions for the opening leg to Panama.
