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.
