I get calls from people in Temescal Valley who bought a sailboat years ago and now they're done with it. One owner had a 28-footer with the mast down since fall. He meant to step it back. Never did. The boat sat in dry storage, fees climbing every quarter, the rigging going stiff in the sun. Another call came from an estate where nobody in the family sails. The boat was part of the house sale, and the new owners didn't want it. Slip fees in Riverside County aren't cheap, and when a sailboat stops moving, those fees feel like throwing money at a problem.
We handle the work start to finish. My crew pulls the rig, secures what's loose, and gets the old sailboat loaded and towed out of Temescal Valley. We cover the same run through Lake Mathews and Home Gardens on the way out, so a single trip often picks up multiple jobs. The boat doesn't need clean title or current registration for us to move it. Missing paperwork never stops the haul. Everything else, the details on what happens to the hull and how we handle the materials, that's all in the sailboat disposal guide for your area.
