Rejs Arek zaczął planować zaraz po powrocie ze SpA 2016. Trasa - non-stop wokół trzech przylądków. Jacht - Quark, setka na której płynął przez Atlantyk. Na jachcie zostanie zamontowana niewielka sterówka oraz będzie założony wewnętrzny sztag dla foka sztormowego. Cele - ustanowić nowy rekord wielkości jachtu, ustanowić nowy rekord prędkości.

26.1. World Record courses for offshore yachts of any size.

All coordinates below are given in WGS 84 and are approximate to .1NM

a. RTW - Round the World, eastbound and westbound 21600NM. 2 separate records.
To sail around the World, a vessel must start from and return to the same point, must cross all meridians of longitude and must cross the Equator. It may cross some but not all meridians more than once (i.e. two roundings of Antarctica do not count). The shortest orthodromic track of the vessel must be at least 21,600 nautical miles in length calculated based on a 'perfect sphere'. In calculating this distance, it is to be assumed that the vessel will sail around Antarctica in latitude 63 degrees south.
A vessel starting from any point where the direct orthodromic distance is too short shall pass one single island or other fixed point on a required side so as to lengthen his orthodromic track to the minimum distance.
No starting point will be permitted more south than 45 ° south.
1 degree of longitude at 63 degrees south will be taken as 27.24NM
