In just a few days, Avel Vaez, ORC 57 hull #3, will join the starting line of the ARC 2025, one of the most iconic transatlantic rallies. For ORC, this crossing is more than a milestone — it is a living demonstration of what our catamarans are built for: essential performance, deliberate simplicity, and a pure way of experiencing the sea.
On an Atlantic passage, the strengths of the ORC 57 reveal themselves naturally. Designed to start sailing in light airs, maintain high averages, and offer a direct, intuitive feel at the helm, the 57 turns the tradewinds into its preferred playground. No unnecessary layers of equipment — just glide, balance, and control, true to the Freesailing philosophy.
The crew of Avel Vaez embodies this mindset perfectly. Their goal is not only to cross the ocean, but to experience it — relying on a boat engineered to accelerate effortlessly, remain easy to handle, and deliver rare confidence in open-sea conditions.
A journey rooted in authenticity, echoing the spirit of those who choose ORC to sail fast, far, and
fully connected to the elements.
By joining the ARC fleet, Avel Vaez becomes a natural ambassador of what ORC stands for: a catamaran that is both seaworthy and fast, minimalist yet capable, and designed for sailors who value sensation over sophistication.
Fair winds to the crew — we’ll be with them on every mile.
