Up the coast is where the nearest repair yard sits, farther than anyone wants to tow a Lompoc sailboat with a rig that has never hauled a mast before. Another Lompoc owner has the opposite problem this season, a boat coming off a marina lift with nowhere close by to store it until spring.
My crew runs boat hauling out of Santa Barbara County with our own truck and trailer, door to door, oversize paperwork settled before the wheels turn. Santa Maria and Buellton sit on the same route. A boat bought without its paperwork sorted can still be moved, details on the California boat transport page.
