 From the MV list, some guy answered an ad for a bigol Atlas diesel,
and found out it had a tugboat attached to it.

         http://www.ghcoates.com/Tugboat.htm

So he refurbed the mechanicals and sailed it 2000+ miles from Louisiana to 
Maryland,
at just under 1 mpg.

If you view them, you will develop a sudden need to have a tugboat too.
