Years ago I worked for a large powerboat mfg and the guys would be rushing to shows and even polishing the boat using the onboard generator for tools.
So if there has to be cleaning and sorting or whatever on passage don’t delay to depart if boat can get going!!!! Safely of course …..

don't just show your faces, I know you think you are nice, we do not want that, show us the work, the damage, that's what we want to see

Hi Holly and Stephane, we strongly hope repairs are proceeding super well! We were looking at a previous video of yours during the Transat and noted that you were using engine alternators to recharge the batteries housebank and you have chosen not to have a genset on board. I would like to do the same on our catamaran, by dismissing the current genset. I would be grateful to know how many nominal Amps each of your Alternators have got and how would you judge your overall experience so far having high output alternators and no genset. Congratulations again to both of you for your amazing approach, you really are an inspiring example for my wife and myself (and I guess for many, many, of us sailors). Elli & Daniele

You want Meredith and Nills Ericson (formally of Gunboat) to help you. No one knows those water better then those two.

We sailed Antigua to Miami last year on our Chris White Atlantic 57 cat. We left Feb. 18, and it took us six days exactly for 1,245 miles sailed. It's all about the cold fronts. We had a Goldilocks Gap between fronts, and went up the Old Bahama Channel. I would absolutely not do that if I thought there was any chance of a front coming through. It's shallows and reefs one side and Cuba the other side with little sea room for tacking and nothing to do but heave to or go backwards in a fierce frontal passage (wind against the current too). In that case it would be better to be outside in the Atlantic, and worst case you could probably organize a stop, or at least keep sailing close hauled on port tack and make some progress north, eventually tacking over to starboard as the wind veered around. I did that route once before in a 40' sloop, and met such a strong cold front in the NW Providence channel that we were forced to run back to Nassau for shelter – had no other large scale charts aboard for that delivery.

Bonjour Stephane and Holly, I sent you a private email. We could help you deliver Awen to Miami if needed. Have a great day.

Good to see Awen is getting a hole lot of love, a hull lot of attention, a boat load of tlc. I believe monohull youtuber Lauren Landers is in BVI – you could maybe pick her up en route.

Jack Whitaker from sailing zatara might be someone to check into. He has tremendous experience on large catamaran and they are headed to boat show in Miami. They may already be in your area right now, Just a thought thrown your way

all goes to plan. Sounds like you have an excellent crew tackling the challenge and that they’ve done this before. Outremer has a stake in making sure this all comes to fruition. You are in great hands and will be successful. The sailing community is awesome and I’m sure you will find someone to help skipper you along the way. Fair winds and best of voyages from Martinique.
