A Rustler 42 delivery from St Lucia to Antigua takes a two-leg route via Martinique and Dominica after a shipping delay from Antigua pushed the schedule back by two days.▶ 1:30 The detour to Martinique serves as a shakedown sail of roughly 40 miles, during which the boat hits 9.2 knots with a single reef in the main and a reefed headsail in big swell.▶ 5:27 The delivery skipper, who recently completed a Rustler 37 delivery to Scotland, notes the 42 is exceptionally well-balanced, needs only one or two degrees of helm correction to self-steer, and rides swell comfortably at seven to nine knots.▶ 0:37 The crew anchors overnight in Martinique, then continues up the west coast of Dominica — motoring in the wind shadow at 1,500 rpm before a Force 4 fills in on the beam off the northern tip.▶ 4:09 Customs clearance in Dominica is the final stop before the overnight passage to Antigua, arriving at first light in warm tropical conditions with a beam breeze.▶ 8:14 The Rustler 42's balance and speed under sail make it well-suited to Caribbean trade-wind passages.
