Here is a Quote I have had recently to move a 19m boat 4.72 wide and 4.88 high,

From port St Louis (France) to Ipswich or Southampton 15000 Euros +19.6%  VAT.

 The Quote was from Van De Werting Transport.

Just  another option.

A boat is a hole in the water surrounded by wood, into which one throws money

I hope I am not repeating info which may have already appeared on this site.  I have just become a member.

With regards to Fairmile Q105 - Duc D'Orleans.  She has been safely removed from the water and is now in drydock in Sarnia not more than 800 feet from where she was first launched.  A two year project is underway to restore her to wartime appearance by a group called Friends of the Q105.  If all goes well it will be rechristened in 2010 and tour the St. Lawrence Seaway.  It is hoped that it will be in Halifax to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Navy and that possibly will receive a Royal inspection.  She will then return to grace the Sarnia waterfront as a training ship and a museum.

Kudos to all of those people with a passion for historyand  a willingness to work hard for a great cause so we can all benefit.

Thanks for this update, my friend Marc-Andre is thrilled his family's old boat is going to be restored, I am trying to keep up to date with this so any progress reports are very welcome.
