I have talked to Robert Onsgard about this, because for about 12 years he organized groups of boats to go by container from South Florida to various events in the Caribbean. He says they used a 40-foot container, and the boats were always shipped completely disassembled. The number of boats that will fit into the container depends upon the width of the hulls. For instance, they were able to fit 15 Nacra 6.0's but only 12 Inter 20's.

They built plywood racks two levels high for the hulls, and left the floor space open for masts, beams, beach wheels, etc. A few times they saved the racks and re-used them the next year, but usually they just threw the wood away and rebuilt them the next time.

You will be interested in this, Wouter, because he said that the guys who came to the events from the Netherlands were able to get more boats into their container because of some kind of telescoping tubing that they used, that took up less space than 2x4's.

If anybody is seriously considering packing up a container of boats to go to Singapore, let me know, and I can put you in touch with Robert, because he could be very helpful.
