The mast came down one fall and never went back up. That's how it starts for a lot of people in Alton. A sailboat that made sense ten years ago sits in a slip or storage lot now, and the rigging's gone stiff, the survey failed before the sale could close, or the fees just kept climbing until the boat cost more to keep than it was worth. Someone inherited it with a lake house. Someone else bought a trailer sailer thinking they'd restore it behind the garage in Madison County, and that was a decade ago. The boat doesn't move. Neither does the problem.
We tow sailboats out of Alton, Godfrey, and East Alton start to finish. We handle the old boat whether it's still standing in a marina, buried in a storage lot, or sitting on blocks in a yard. The rigging comes down, the hull gets loaded, and we handle the paperwork and title work along the way. Missing documentation doesn't stop the job. Details on what happens next are on the sailboat disposal page.
