Mid-ocean rescues for ARC/ARC+
One crew member died, two yachts were abandoned, and two made successful mid-Atlantic rescues during this year’s ARC and ARC+ transatlantic rallies.
The first incident occurred six days into the ARC crossing, when a sailor aboard the X-Yachts X43 was fatally injured on the night of 26/27 November. French sailor Max Delannoy, 73, is understood to have been struck by the boom.
