A mast came down one fall and never went back up. That's how it starts for a lot of people here in Bolingbrook. The rigging sits coiled on the cabin sole, the boom rests against the stanchions, and ten years pass. Or the slip fees at the marina keep climbing, the haul-out costs more each season, and one day the math doesn't work anymore. An old sailboat becomes the thing you own but don't use, the storage lot bill that shows up every month, the dry storage stand that's been holding the same boat since before your kids finished high school.
We come to Bolingbrook and the surrounding area,same trip handles Naperville and Lisle,and we load it up. The mast comes down if it's still standing, the rigging comes off, the whole rig gets secured to the trailer or the truck bed. We tow from start to finish. Missing paperwork doesn't stop the job. The details on what happens next, the hull disposal and the title work, that's on the sailboat disposal page. But the tow itself, the getting it gone part, that's where we start.
