Have a look at forum member guitarrich blog

and his Nov 2011 entry.
You're looking at about £10,000 to ship it

Atlantic crossing

The only option is to take the boat to the Canary Islands and then cross over to the Virgin Islands.
Are you really going to miss this trip and let someone else do it or worse pay lots of money to ship it.
If you need crew then,depending on the schedule,there could be many volunteers.

As above or hire a skip and do the ARC ( you know you want to )

Good Morning Crabman,

For a price I will need a few more details... It may be easiest for you to complete this form so that I have all the relevant information, then I'll get back to you.

This is a very good option, however it'll have to be ARC 2013 as the 2012 entry is full already creating quite a waiting list!

It will be the NARC then.

Seriously that is a nice sail once you get to the Canaries. People will pay to do it!

Thanks for all the advice and replies .I have decide to sail it across with my boy two handed. Should be a blast. Next I have to sort out when is the best time to go . I will look at all the weather scheds in the next few months.When does the Arc fleet cross?

End of November so that they can get to the Carribean for Xmas. This can be a bit early and weather is more stable during december & january. Have fun

The ARC is too early some years.

January is about right.
