A team of engineers attempts to build and haul a massive, brand new Search & Rescue Hovercraft 9,000 miles from Southampton to Sea Island, Vancouver in Canada. The Sea Island Coast Guard deals with hundreds of emergencies every year because of their dangerous tidal waters. Now they need a new type of all-terrain vehicle to cope with this threat and continue to help save lives. Engineers in Southampton, England have the answer. Griffon Hoverwork are at the forefront of hovercraft design and have struck a million dollar deal with the coast guard to supply them with one of their biggest ever - the AP1-88. Now all they need to do is get it there - which proves to be an epic endeavour.
