It has been a frustrating year for us all, stuck at home, unable to reach our boats and shut out from our favorite sailing destinations. But now we can announce that the '1500 is back, so get ready to sail south again this fall!

World Cruising Club is committed to helping sailors get down island again this season - we might not know where just yet, but it will be warm and in the Caribbean sun! Plans are being set for the 2021 edition of the '1500 to set sail from the Chesapeake in early November. Our intended landfall will be Nanny Cay Marina in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, subject to travel restrictions allowing. We are using all our experience gained from running the 2020/21 transatlantic ARC and ARC Europe rallies to give you a Covid secure event, taking you and your crew safely to the Caribbean.

Dates will be announced during August, with an exciting new start port helping to welcome sailors back to this iconic American sailing rally.
