#1 intend to sail on three hovercrafts, travelling for 20 hours.

Odd, hovercraft go very fast, a guess would be around 60MPH cruising, they're also very vulnerable to rough weather, requiring extremely smooth seas for the craft to "Sail" and not swamp and sink.
Run out of fuel, or have some engine trouble and they sink as well. Wind also is a big factor.

I'm praying for squalls. At the least these fools will be seasick a lot.
