hi

4 people doing one-way antigua to st martin via nevis, st kitts, saba or statia over 10 days (plus a couple of days onl and on each end in antigua & st martin) in last week march/1st week april 2009 & want ca. 40-ish foot monohull . horizon and sunsail have one-way drop offs on this route. horizon has bene 393 or bavaria 40's & 42's; sunsail has bene 393 or 423.

1. would probably go for 393 or bavaria 40 for price reasons - i dont see any compelling reason to choose one over the other other than one may be a bit newer - any thoughts?

2. any thoughts on horizon vs sunsail (particularly the antigua operations) - again, i dont see a really compelling reason to pick one over the other.

3. Anyone have any first hand experience on this trip/route and places to see/avoid; anchorages to use/avoid?

thanks
