Super Servant on Discovery Channel

In article ,
says...

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.

I checked them out a couple of years ago when I was thinking of taking the
boat to Europe (we were looking at moving to the Channel Islands). The price
to carry our 37 foot sloop from Newport, RI, to France was about $7,000. To my
mind, that is a real bargain if your intent is not so much a 30-day ocean
voyage as getting the boat from one place to another. Just consider the wear
and tear on the boat and equipment, the need for crew and supplies for at
least six weeks, etc., etc., and it becomes a no-brainer.

We didn't move to the Channel Islands.
