Help me sail my Swan 46 "Rohkea" from Sint Maarten to the Azores. Rohkea crossd East-West in the 2018 ARC+ rally and has been sailing the Caribean since December 2018. We crossed over here with a crew of six but I am planning on a crew of no more than three or four for the return voyage. Rohkea has win vance steering as well as autopilot, plus other long distance cruising aids such as a water maker. Let me know if interested. I am currently in Simpson Bay waiting on roller furling gear to be serviced. I expect to be ready to depart around 26 May. It is just over 2000 miles to the Azores, that should be two to three weeks sailing depending on the conditions. Rohkea is a well equiped Swan 46 having being sailed half way around the planet under previous ownership. She was wonderfully stable and reassuring in our trip from Europe to the Caribbean. She was also quite fast as we logged an average of 8kts over one 24 hour period. Let me know if interested.
