I've pulled sailboats out of West Deerfield that haven't moved in years. One had the mast down since fall, lying across the cabin like it was done trying. The owner kept saying he'd get it back up, get back into sailing, but that spring never came. Then there's the slip fees. A boat in dry storage or at a marina in Lake County costs money every month whether you're using it or not. I've had calls from people who inherited a house with a sailboat in the backyard, the rigging corroded, no idea how to sell it or what it's worth. Sometimes a survey kills a sale before it starts, and the buyer walks. That's when the phone rings.
When you call, we handle sailboat disposal start to finish. The crew comes to West Deerfield and we can move into Bannockburn and Riverwoods on the same trip if you've got a second boat or know someone who does. We get the rig down, tow the old sailboat out, and handle the paperwork. Missing titles, unclear ownership, storage lot tangles,none of that stops the job. Details on how we handle the hull and where it goes are on the Illinois sailboat disposal page.
