The ADVANCED A80 APSARAS arrives first at the ARC 2015 – Atlantic Rally for Cruisers in the “cruising division” from Gran Canaria to Saint Lucia.

During the first days of December the boats participating in the ARC started to arrive in Saint Lucia, after completing the Atlantic crossing. On 5 December, in the early afternoon, the Advanced A80 APSARAS crossed the finish line in first position in the Cruising Category, and ninth overall out of around 200 boats, after covering 2,885 miles in 13 days. The boat launched in June 2015, after a short test cruise from the Adriatic to the Tyrrhenian Sea left the Mediterranean for Gran Canaria to participate in the ARC. The regatta was an excellent test to prove the reliability of the boat and verify its potential in terms of performance.
