Cuan Law is a 105-foot aluminum trimaran, 44 feet across, built in 1988 for a week of diving and sailing in these islands. Duncan and Annie Muirhead designed her. The name is Scots. Cuan is the ocean. Law is a mountain. She has been called the largest sailing trimaran in the world, and from the dock she looks like one. Ten cabins, each with its own head. A crew of seven is already aboard.
The week
You board in Tortola. The first night is a short sail, so a late flight does not spoil it. Then the wrecks, the Rhone when the landing is kind, the reefs off Norman and Peter, a day toward Virgin Gorda if the sea allows. Two dives in a day, and a night dive if the group would like one. Nitrox is aboard. Between dives the deck is the living room: a book, a nap, a kayak, the shade of the hard top.
The table
Lunch is on the covered deck, between the dives, while the light is still on the water. Dinner is the long sitting, once the last splash is done, with a select wine and the lights of the next island if the anchorage gives them. Divers and the people who stay on deck eat the same table. The galley has been in good hands for years. Tell us what you do not eat and it will be planned before you fly.
A floating dive hotel, under sail.
From $65,200 for the week. A cabin can also be taken on its own. Tell us the dates.
