I get calls from people in Libertyville who bought a sailboat with good intentions. The mast came down one fall and never went back up. Or the slip fees at the marina kept climbing while the boat sat there, and one day the owner did the math and realized they were paying more per year than they'd paid for the rig itself. Sometimes it's an estate where nobody in the family sails. Sometimes the survey came back with soft spots in the deck core and the buyer walked, and the seller was left holding a boat nobody wanted anymore. A sailboat is different from other boats. The rigging, the mast, the standing gear, the years of maintenance it demands. When all that stops making sense, people call.
We handle sailboat disposal from Libertyville through Green Oaks and Mundelein on the same trip. You tell us the boat's location, whether it's on a trailer, in a slip, or sitting on stands in dry storage. We come out, drop the rig if it's still standing, tow the hull out, and handle the whole thing start to finish. Missing paperwork doesn't stop the job. More details on how we handle an old sailboat and what happens next are on the Illinois sailboat disposal page.
