Buying Overseas

At some stage we plan to upgrade to something larger within the next year or so, but 'till now have restricted myself to anything within SE Australia.

Having watched Simon's adventures with interest, I was wondering that for those few here who may have purchased a boat overseas:

1. How did you get the boat back home? Did you follow Simon's example or get it shipped??

2. If it was a transport co., which one, how did they do it and would you recommend them??

3. I've discovered there's a 2-year waiting list for berths in most places in Melbourne.

Did you have a berth ready and waiting as part of a Club membership (ie. you bought a boat to fit the berth) or did you somehow get one once you got the boat back (ie. bought a berth to fit the boat)?

Thanks!
