The decision to move a private yacht, power or sail, across the vast oceans on its own bottom, is only arrived at after much thought provoking examination of the options. Whatever the course, the decision to move the vessel is usually predicated on the de-placement being long term – that is the yacht being 2 or 3 years away from home waters, or possibly being offered for sale at the end of cruising.

Availability of alternative options & differing routes will be considered. Timing & efficiency of achieving the objectives will be figured. In many cases the decision to move a vessel on its own bottom is the only rational solution. In many cases the owner’s own affairs will preclude his ability - & often his desire – to be present for any, or all, of the voyage.
