SYNOPSIS
Our only Trans-Atlantic voyage of 2027, we'll sail with the ARC Europe fleet out of Bermuda, making landfall in legendary Horta, where the first stop ashore is always Peter Cafe Sport for the best-tasting beer in the Atlantic! We have a good chance of being the fastest boat in the rally fleet (in 2017 ISBJØRN won Class B!), but in any case, sailing in company in the rally is awesome fun and a great way to meet other cruisers.
typical Weather Pattern
Expect mild daytime temperatures ranging from 70°F to 75°F and cooler nights, with increasing warmth as you move closer to the Azores. The prevailing winds are predominantly from the southeast from 10 to 15 kts, but we’ll be prepared for occasional squalls and changing wind directions. Sea conditions can vary, with moderate swells.
