Ok, first things first, we are going to need to engage a specialist boat transport company to get "Chione" the 600 miles from Northney to Ardfern. Time to reach for Google...
...I established a list of likely contractors to do the job and set about getting some quotes. As you can see from the above table, these covered a considerable range, from under £1000 to £1750 (all excluding VAT). Having established some sort of baseline I contacted the company, run by Malcolm Elvy, which had first transported Chione from the boatyard were she was built to the Solent. Although this wasn't really the job for him, Malcolm was extremely helpful in providing some "inside information" on the boat transporting business. He also recommended a Scottish company: John Shepherd Boat Transport. Now this was quite a coincidence, since one of our friends in Argyll had also had his boat moved up from Northney a couple of years ago. He had been impressed with the service he had received and was happy to recommend: John Shepherd Boat Transport.
Job done!
