Does anybody know the name of ...
Irish
I live near Vancouver, BC Canada. Last year I saw an ocean-going yacht
transport vessel taking on some boats for transport in the Pacific Rim.
It is something like a floating drydock ... you pilot your boat into the
shell ... then it gets pumped and away it goes ...
My problem is that I can't recall the name of the vessel or the
company. I would really like to contact them.
Anybody have any ideas ??
TIA.

seem to remember that an Atlantic crossing was around US$30-40K..
A friend had her 35ft Fantaisa sail boat transported from Singapore to
Vancouver BC about 10 years ago and it cost ~ US$10k.. Not sure why the big
difference..
Some of the advantages, you don't need to remove the mast, as you would with
a deck load on a cargo ship. The skipper and crew can ride along, staying
onboard their boat, while utilizing the facilities onboard the transport..
Also I saves wear and tear on the yacht and need for special equipment and
paid crew you might need for major passage making..
In the case I mentioned, the skipper died in the middle of a
circumnavigation and the widow and daughter were left with the problem of
getting the yacht back to the US.. Worked well for them..

Jack was winning titles when Tiger was still spunk in his daddies sack. He
also designs some very fine courses.

young player. Why would a young person take up golf?... it's sort of an old
person's sport isn't it? I read somewhere that old golfers lose their
balls....

Thanks for taking the time to get back to me.
After striking out with web searches, I remembered I had seen a picture in a
local paper - the North Shore News about 2 years ago. I went to their
website
and scanned through the back issue archives ... and found it.

Anyway ... safe boating to you all ... and thanks again for trying.
If you are ever up this way, look us up ... our boat is the Celtic Knot
(Bayliner command bridge).

Couple million $$$ a year for smacking your balls with a club while wearing
funny clothes.

bad for smacking golf balls around. This will buy a lot of sailboats,
but you wouldn't have time to sail in them.

I asked for a quote on an O'Day 37 from Newport to Cherbourg. $12,000.

$7000 USD two years ago.
I have spoken with a guy who has used it twice and he really liked it.

and a Moody 36 was $7300 (mid August time frame). Newport to Cherbourg
also.

the horizon. As it came closer, we could see several masts sticking up in
the air and were trying to figure out what the ship was. It passed quite
close and it was one of these transporters full of yachts. We were slogging
through some pretty heavy seas which made it look like a good way to deliver
boats. The prices are not that far out of line with what it would cost for
a professional crew to deliver the boat. Figure $200-300 (USD) a day for
captain and crew (20-25 days), food, fuel, transportation costs for the crew
and wear and tear (which is usually significant) and it is not a bad deal
