Boat tow services

[nico]

Call me ignorant, but I eventually figured out today how ppl in the US and Europe and Oz etc get away with going to sea (and far offshore) with only one motor. Yes, they do have propper coast guards, but they also have boat "tow services". It's like the AA for boats. Cool!
 
Here is a couple of examples:

Can't really see it catching on here though.

Very cool! Would be lekker having that peace of mind and then running a single motor on a big monohull!

Very interesting Nico
It will not work here at all - and you know perfectly well why.
