My negotiation to buy a
Florida sailboat just took a disappointing turn and I’m about ready to default to ‘plan B’ – which is to buy ex-charter in
Virgin Islands,
refit in the area, then begin a meandering return to US. One of the details to
work out is where to
refit? In another thread, someone said St. Martin was best option. But I’m wondering if
Puerto Rico is not the better choice for
price and selection. It looks like there are at least two West
Marine stores there, which has gotta be a good sign. And I understand there are no duties on U.S. imports.
I would appreciate any local knowledge on this.
Thanks, Tom
