We sailed East to West and were not accustomed to ocean crossings so waited for a large High Pressure down south of the Bight in February to have SE winds. We departed Fowlers Bay East of Ceduna and had bumpy conditions for our Trimaran - the SE winds had enough fetch to produce 2 m seas but the SW Swell of 2 - 3 meters intersected - like a washing machine. We stopped at Eucla for a front to go though - not much protection, then went on to Dawe Island - the other possibility is Isrealite Bay. We have crewed on a 15m Catamaran the other way in October and the seas were better as they were with us. The best guide for the Western Australian side is produced by the Fremantle Sailing Club.

Good luck

Will, SV Shanghaied]]> Mon, 13 May 2013 11:26:16 GMT http://www.worldcruising.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=3664 Your clothing requirements will depend on where you are joining the boat. If sailing from northern Europe you will need underlayers and a good jacket & trousers. As you head south from Gran Canaria it does get warmer, so if you are only sailing the Atlantic, then a lightweight jacket will be OK. See the more detailed description in the ARC rally handbook section 02 page 45. You can read this via our website. See the links to events documents, lower left. Plus you can purchase items from GILL at a member's discount. See link on the member's pages, lower right.

I'm preparing the ARC 2013. I'm wondering which type of jacket should I buy. I looked at several brands and models but I really don't know what would be a "good choice"! For example with Gill jackets, is the OS2 jacket sufficient or ARc weather conditions require the high-end OC1 jacket?




Any tip, recommendation? I guess the historic K.Way jacket is not the right choice ;-)




Thanks for any help,

Evita on 24/04/2013]]> Wed, 24 Apr 2013 22:45:56 GMT http://www.worldcruising.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=3654 Our plan is to reach all the portuguese speaking countries, however, we have some details to solve!

Our boat, a 45 feet Gulfstar, is currently in Dominican Republic.




The initial idea was to sail down south to Brazil (which we need to abandon because won't be easy to reach Rio de Janeiro due to currents) then follow from Brazil to Europe via Cabo Verde.




However, probably will be wiser to head to Bahamas, Bermuda, Azores and Portugal.

Then African coast until Cabo Verde and Guine-Bissau.




We need to came to Brazil and then make the remaining countries in Africa, Angola and Sao Tome and Principe in the Atlantic side and Mozambique in the Indian Ocean side.

And in Brazil we need to go to Rio, Natal and Fortaleza!

What would be the easiest solution?

Cross from Angola to Rio? Similar to the same route coming from South Africa with stop in St Helena. Then in Brazil go up until Fortaleza and make the crossing back to African coast again and follow the same route down to South Africa?




As for the remaining, after Mozambique i don't have any doubts!

The only problem will really be Brazil.




Would appreciate some inputs from fellow sailors who may done some of this legs.]]> Wed, 24 Apr 2013 05:50:30 GMT http://www.worldcruising.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=3653 edited by David Mackay

If any World ARC 2014 boat is interested in this I am in touch with Jonathan Robinson on Chez Nous and he has offered to hold it on his boat for you. We are both staying in the Caribbean.

If you're in Phuket, try to find Leon Bowles who used to own YSE Marine Engineering in the Boat Lagoon (the Volvo licenced dealer). He sold that business about 18 months ago, bought a yacht, and did almost exactly what you're talking about with his family last year (not sure if they surfed a lot, but the route was similar). He's back in Phuket now, and he's very approachable (especially if you offer a beer or two).




The guys at YSE will know how to contact him, or if they don't one of the other foreign owned businesses will know.




Cheers,

Paul.]]> Tue, 09 Apr 2013 10:01:16 GMT http://www.worldcruising.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=3634

I have an Ampair Aquair 100 towed generator and need some additional parts.

Does anyone want to sell a high speed impeller (course pitch for 8 knots plus - in fact I am after 2 of them). I am also after the various fittings and extension cables required for converting the generator to wind mode.

If you have the complete kit including the generator and would prefer to sell everything, please advise as I may be interested in buying it all and having a spare.

I am looking for an SPX10 Course Computer, Type 1 Linear Drive, ST7002 Controller and Rudder Ref Unit to carry as spares on the WARC 14/15. I don't mind if they are new or used. I am hoping that someone who has previously done the ARC or World ARC may have some or all of them but no longer needs them.

Thanks, Paul]]> Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:27:13 GMT http://www.worldcruising.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=3634 I am still trying to get hold of some of the pilot books and if Tim does not want them I will be interested.
I have sent a PM to David with a list of what I am looking for.
