I might motorsail with the jib rolled out for the short 30 minute passage from JVD to Steele Pt, Tortola, and then simply motor upwind the remainder of the way.

The last time we did it, we had 30kts on the nose and steep seas in the channel. Our underpowered 40' cat managed about 2.5kts from Steele Pt. to the harbor.

Last May it took us 3.5 hours from Great Harbor to Road Town in a 38 mono. Winds were 25kts straight down the channel. SOG was maybe 3.5.
