AHC: Huguenot New York

Your challenge, with a PoD after 1524, is to make New York a Huguenot colony.

Among the early Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam were many of non-Dutch background, folks who's parents or grand parents were Huguenot refugees. Perhaps the Dutch Republic could simply start shipping said refugees to the New World rather than letting them settle in the united provinces.
 
Seems pretty straightforward: have one of the Huguenot colonization attempts of the 1560s arrive in New York instead of Florida or the Carolinas. Spain foiled their two attempts in OTL, but the Spanish never seemed interested in going as far north as New York, so they may have been okay there.
 
Well, in my TL "Vive le Canada" the Huguenots are shipped to Canada and eventually defeat the Iroquois and take over New York in the North...
