We adopt a semi-automatic method to find gravitational arcs in the survey that makes use of an arc-finding algorithm. The candidate list is pruned by visual inspection and ranking to form the final SARCS sample. This list also includes some serendipitously discovered lens candidates which the automated algorithm did not detect. The SARCS sample consists of 127 lens candidates which span arc radii ~2"-18" within the unmasked area of ~150 deg^2^. Within the sample, 54 systems are promising lenses among which, we find 12 giant arcs (length-to-width ratio >= 8). We also find two radial arc candidates in SL2SJ141447+544704. From our sample, we detect a systematic alignment of the giant arcs with the major axis of the baryonic component of the putative lens in concordance with previous studies. This alignment is also observed for all arcs in the sample and does not vary significantly with increasing arc radius. The mean values of the photometric redshift distributions of lenses corresponding to the giant arcs and all arcs sample are at z~0.6.2012ApJ...749...38Mhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/749/38CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/317 : The CFHTLS Survey (T0007 release) (Hudelot+ 2012)VIII/72 : CLASS survey of radio sources (Myers+, 2003)J/ApJ/705/1099 : The Sloan Lens ACS (SLACS) Survey.
