Dale's take on Lakewood

I've pulled sailboats out of Jefferson County driveways and storage lots where the mast came down one fall and never went back up, owners tired of slip fees eating their budget every month with no sailing happening. I've also handled estate situations where a sailboat came with a house nobody in the family wanted to use, the rigging seized and the survey failed before a sale could close. These aren't emergencies. They're just boats that stopped making sense.

Hansons Boat Removal handles sailboat disposal start to finish across Lakewood, Edgewater, and Wheat Ridge on the same trip. We de-rig, secure the mast, tow it out, and handle the paperwork. Missing titles or old registration doesn't stop the job. Details on how we handle everything from rig-down to final removal are on the Colorado sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Lakewood

Sailboat disposal in Lakewood means we handle the whole vessel from mast to keel. The mast comes down and standing rigging gets cut away or salvaged for value. We pull the keel at our yard and credit any scrap value against your cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull gets cut and routed to the processor. Whether your boat sits in a storage lot, on a driveway, or at a boatyard, we run the haul-out and handle the marina conversation so you don't have to manage vendors. We also serve Mountain View and Lakeside when needed. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Lakewood

Catalina 22 removal Lakewood CO

22 ft Catalina Removal in Lakewood, CO

A 22 ft Catalina 22 sat in a driveway in Lakewood with its mast down and lashed to the deck, where it had been for years. The fiberglass hull was sound, but the swing-keel trailer had flat tires and hadn't moved in so long the owner had stopped thinking about it as something that could move again. The real problem wasn't the boat.

How sailboat disposal in Lakewood works

  1. 1

    Send photos, rig status, and the pickup ZIP

    Length, keel type, whether the mast is up or already down, and access notes for the yard or slip in Lakewood. Photos of the rig and any winches or hardware set the number.

  2. 2

    Get a firm quote back the same day

    One number covers rig-down through disposal. Keel scrap value is credited off the total up front, not owed back after.

  3. 3

    Schedule pickup and marina coordination in Lakewood

    If the boat is in a slip we run the marina office and the crane call. On stands or on a trailer we set a date and window; the crew calls when they are an hour out.

  4. 4

    Rig-down and load

    Mast unstepped, standing rigging cut or salvaged, spreaders and boom stacked and strapped. Usable sails, winches, and hardware come off before the hull leaves.

  5. 5

    Keel out, hull processed, documentation

    The keel is unbolted or cut at our yard, weighed, and sold to the metal recycler; the fiberglass hull is cut down and routed to a processor. You get proof of disposal and the hull ID record.

    Metal keel, rigging, winches, and salvageable hardware are routed to recyclers first. Only what a facility refuses ends up in a landfill.

The starting number at the top of this page is real. Length, keel type, and whether the boat sits in the water or on the hard move it from there. Lead keel scrap value is credited off — details on the Colorado sailboat disposal pricing section.

Common questions about Lakewood sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Lakewood?
Cost tracks length, keel type, and whether the boat sits in the water or on the hard. The pricing section above shows the range. Lead keel scrap value gets credited off the number, and a firm quote comes back from photos.
Can you take a sailboat straight out of a marina slip?
Slip-out pickups are one of the most common calls. Crane time, marina paperwork, and the mast conversation happen on our side. You approve the schedule and we handle the rest.
Is the lead keel worth anything?
Lead keels carry real scrap value, and that value comes off your price up front. Iron brings less. Photos of the keel and the boat get us to the right number before we schedule.
Should I just donate the sailboat instead?
Donation makes sense for a boat with survey value — a runnable diesel, sound decks, a rig that will not fail on inspection. Send photos and I will tell you which way yours leans; if the numbers work for a charity, I will say so first.
What happens to the mast, rigging, and sails?
The mast comes down at the boat or at our yard, then metal recycling handles the rigging. Sails and hardware in decent shape come off first and are spoken for before the hull is cut.
Do I need a title to dispose of a sailboat in Lakewood?
Titling questions belong on the Colorado boat-removal page's legal section. On our side, missing paperwork does not stop the job — proof of disposal comes back to you when the work is done.
What if the boat has been sitting on stands for years?
Years on stands is our most common call. Seized hardware, stained hulls, corroded rigging — none of that changes whether we take the job. The quote already assumes the boat has been sitting.
