ARC Rally RACE DAY... We Are Crossing The Atlantic Ocean! ~ Vlog #25
January 14, 2019 by Sailing On Finding Avalon | Language: EN Play Time: 00:18:25 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Sorry for our recent paucity in YouTube activity – you’ll understand why now (and hopefully forgive us).
The day we have spent six months preparing for is finally upon us… Across the Atlantic Ocean we go.
The crew convenes in Gran Canaria to begin celebrations and preparations for the ARC Rally. There will be four of us on the crossing – our Patrons have known who for a long time, and here it finally is now for everyone to see.
This was a monster of a busy week for us. Provisioning, safety checks, man overboard drills, seminars, weather routing, chart plotting, and drinking free champagne took up every second of every day up until the very day.
Race day itself was bursting with atmosphere. It felt as if we were going into battle with so many boats up ahead of us on the start line (yeah, we were late). It was a beautiful sight to see such an array of sailboats skating across our bow as we headed into the thick of the fleet.
The klaxon sounded and Avalon sailed to her carefully chosen course. The first step in a 2,800 nautical mile journey.

Sailing On Finding Avalon
We are Jackson and Xanthe, a pair who met in an aprés-ski bar in the Snowy Mountains of Australia and instantly bonded over a love for adventure, travel and the ocean. In his youth, Jackson competed in international sailing regattas all over the globe. He thought it was a pretty spectacular way to see the world and always had the dream of taking to the seas on a more permanent basis. Xanthe thought it was the best idea she had ever heard and insisted he made his dream a reality and that he made it with her. We bought Finding Avalon in Croatia in the middle of 2018. She's a 2005 Elan Impression 384, and was a charter boat before we bought her. It’s been great fun kitting the boat out to make her fit to sail the open seas. We've now covered 20,000 nautical miles to get her back to Australia! Binge watch our channel to see the incredible journey from buying the boat to arriving home in Australia; and stick around for weekly videos as we share Sydney's treasures by sail.
