How are the entry fees calculated?
ARC Europe entry fees are calculated on your boat length and the numbers of adults. Children aged under 16 are free.

I haven’t bought my boat yet, can I still enter?
Yes, but entry fees are based on your boat length, so its best to talk to us first.

I don’t know how many crew I’ll be taking, is this a problem?
Our minimum is two people (skipper and crew) per boat, so we will assume you have two people onboard. More crew can be added and paid for later.

What happens if the entry list is full?
Once the entry list is full, we will hold any subsequent bookings on a waiting list, pending withdrawals. It is best to book early to avoid disappointment.
