I have a 2,000Kg Fairline cruiser I need to move about
1,000 miles (from UK to Spain). One solution seems to be
to buy a 2,000Kg twin-axle roller trailer and tow it
there behind my landrover... but I have no idea if doing
a 1,000 miles with a boat that heavy in tow is sheer
madness, or whether towing that sort of weight long
distance is actually not too much of a problem... any
opinions appreciated.

I'm not being cheeky, just interested. Why can't you go by sea?

Couple of thousand miles of open sea. A 2000kg boat should be about 5
meters in size (21 feet)

Yes, a Fairline Sprint 21 in fact, and I'm going to Mallorca so yes a
few thousand miles round Gibraltar and back up... I'd get probably as
far as the middle of the english channel before yelling Mayday.

What is the range on that boat? It is about 150 miles, about 225 km, from
Barcelona to Mallorca. So maybe put it on a freighter to Barcelona. Then
get a lorry going to Majorca to pick up freight to haul the boat over.
Where on Majorca are you going to base the boat. Love Puerto Soller.
