[PUP] Shipping my boat from Asia to North America

[Paul Goyette]

Gordon,

I used Yacht Path International to ship Gentle Wind from Florida to 
Ensenada, several years ago.  I was impressed with their personal 
attention to all of the details of the operation, even to the point
where they arranged for a skipper and crew to assist me in moving the
vessel from Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach when a stevedore's
"labor action" made loading in FLL impossible.

I highly recommend them - no financial or other interest, just a
satisfied customer!

BTW, unlike Dockwise, Yacht Path loads the boats on the deck of a
freighter, and they build a custom cradle on-the-fly.  No float-on/
float-off.  And everything is very securely tied down.
