[ Cancelled ] World ARC Leg 1 St Lucia to Panama Saint Lucia to Panama ref 1387

Dan Bower wants 4 crew for Skyelark of London, Skye 51, 16m.

From Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia to Panama, Panama.

January 2017 to February 2017.

Leg 1: Saint Lucia, Santa Marta, San Blas Islands, Panama Canal, Panama City 1190nm. Starting from Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia we will set sail with the World ARC fleet on the 7th first stop Santa Marta 815nm away. We will have a day stop to explore this historic coastal town in Columbia before setting off for the San Blas Islands. These islands are the home of the Kuna Indians and are really more like cays with fringing coral reefs offering protected anchorages. Most of the islands are uninhabited and you can enjoy the emerald clear water and white sandy beaches shaded by coconut palms. We rendezvous with the other WARC yachts for a social get together, before taking the 80nm night sail across to Colon, Panama. Here we will have a few days in the marina making preparations for transiting the canal..With 3 locks at either end, the Panama Canal was first opened in 1914. The French first attempted to build the canal in 1880 but gave up after around 21,000 workers died of Malaria and Yellow Fever. The Americans took on the project in the early 1900s and now there are plans to widen the canal further. World ARC representatives will help to organise all the paperwork and logistics of making the passage through the canal, meaning crews can be left to enjoy the whole experience. Once through, we will be anchored off Panama City where Leg 1 of the journey ends. Skyelark is fully coded to cat 0 regulations (unrestricted). This will be her second circumnavigation with her owners Dan and Em, both highly experienced ocean yachtmasters. £3500 Please email us for more information. http://skye51.com
