Yacht Path

A lot of people ask, "How do you get a 100ft, 160ton boat across the Atlantic?" For this particular trip we are traveling with Yacht Path International. The process of loading the boat is almost the same as hauling the boat out for the winter. We will place several straps under the boat at a precise location so the boat is level. Then, once in the air the boat will be placed on "stilts," or metal risers keeping the haul off the big ship. The ship is capable of loading up to 180ft and 250 ton boats! It should make for an interesting day when we finally load! And many pictures to follow.
