Piffle.
Buy the whole fleet. (Ex-charter boats, I presume) and you can get them delivered to the UK for free by selling the passages as 'mile-building' holidays for those doing their YM certification.
Easy eh?

Ex-Neilson? I might have sailed it..
Good luck, they've had a lot of use. The interiors are often in surprisingly good nick as people rarely use them other than for the beds.

Hello NickC - see you caused quite a tail-back with your question. We are in the same position with our Nic 38 yacht Voltair - currently in Preveza but would be better back in UK on the hard somewhere for sale (as we have now campaigned her extensively around western and northern europe and are too geriatric to bring her back around Portugal). So I am looking at the Rhein-Main-Donau canal also, as a splendid final voyage to get her home. Who says you have to do it in spate? I was thinking of a gentle cruise from September onwards after a long dry summer. We draw about 1.8m downwards and maybe 2.8m upwards with the masts down, so dimensionally it ought to fit. So long as the stream in the Danube isn't more than 3knots we ought to be able to cope..... so what else is agin it? When you thinking of going? We were thinking of 2017 after a tour of the Adriatic this year. Website at www.voltair.org.uk if anyone is interested..... perhaps in buying in situ in Preveza!

Well, we are planning to call in at the armpit of the Adriatic, so could try something similar. But I guess it would have been double or more if you had not caught a back-load. Still interested in the scenic route via the R-M-D canal if anyone knows a publication or book from someone who's done it.
