Whether you're getting ready to set sail in 2024, you're planning for the future or you sailed in a previous ARC, ARC+, ARC Europe or World ARC rally, we'd love to have you join us at the Open Day.
The Bluewater Open Day can help you on your way regardless of whether you already have your dream boat or are still in the dreaming stage. Chat with experts, meet ARC skippers and mingle with other aspiring bluewater cruisers at this informative and relaxed open day. Our experts and skippers will be sharing their knowledge, top-tips and ideas on all things connected with bluewater cruising.
You can step aboard to tour our Open Day boats and cats that are ARC and offshore-cruising ready, talk to the owners and see how a bluewater cruiser is set-up to sail; join group discussions; and view boats available for purchase.

The day is designed for 'grazing' - you can arrive or depart when you wish. During the day, there will be a rolling programme including:
- Presentations and panel discussions with ARC skippers and marine experts
- Mini exhibition of useful bluewater cruising equipment and services
- Come onboard ARC-ready boats and talk to the owners/skipper
- Brokerage boats to view
- and more!
We can't wait to meet you!
