Anyone see the program on Super Servant on Discovery channel tonight? Very
interesting show but I thought it only ran trans Atlantic routes. That run
was Ft. Lauderdale to St. Thomas. I can see Calais or Gibraltar to Antigua
but an average fee of $7,000 to transport your boat on a route that can be
made on your on hull in 2 or 3 weeks with lots of nice stops on the way?
Even out to 65W it is only 10-12 days.

Several of those yachts looked like they would have beat Super Servant's 15
knots on their own.


Probably most people are scared of crossing large open waters themselves or
simply don't have the time to do so. For a large motor yacht and with todays
fuel prices it may be more economical to do a piggyback ride.
