morning all, my first post smile - we're keen sailors & have been to BVI 3 times, all three on catamarans, one on a Moorings 5000 smile , & we loved it; imo you can get to Anegada easily from anywhere on VG, we prefer both Cooper IS and Spanish Town (for CocoMaya) to Leverick and so cross from either of those, both easily doable. Re wind/ waves, our general boat 'rules' are 1 reef at 20kts sustained, 2 reefs at 25kts sustained, it rarely blows higher than that sustained there, squalls bring 30+ so if they're around we put 2 reefs in at the start of the day & just get going, it's easy to reduce the jib & spill wind off the main when anything stronger comes along & in our experience the Leopards sail fantastically with reefs in. now re the crossing, we were there last month & the Christmas winds were still there, as the above poster said, 20-25 sustained with regular 30kt gusts, we spent night 1 in Cooper (on the Moorings wifi at 7am to get a ball) and then headed straight up to Anegada, the boat sailed fantastically, yes it's a bit bumpy but we headed on as tight a tack as we could which took us slightly West of Anegada but when we got close enough we dropped the sails & motored in the rest. the joy of stronger wind days is that not many people go so you've got a great choice of Boaty & regular white balls. for the first time this time we anchored round the corner at Pomato Point and tendered into the beach to eat at Sid's, a great addition to the restaurants and the anchorage is well protected and nice & quiet; night 2 we went round to the main bay & ate at Potters for more activity & noise smile Potters happily order taxis for you so we went up to Flash of Beauty beach for sunbathing, cocktails & great snorkelling. Anegada's well protected imo so both nights were comfortable in the breeze as was the day on the beach. The added bonus if the winds are still up is the downwind sail to Jost when you've done, just remember to get the main up when Anegada is still protecting you from the swell. I think March winds will be more like 15kts so the sailing should be fab, & the 5000 sails fantastically, enjoy!
