Altamonte Springs, FL: 25 ft O'Day Gone in One Morning

A 25 ft O'Day 25 sitting on wooden stands in a driveway in Altamonte Springs had spent three seasons there, long enough for the keel bolts to start weeping rust down the fiberglass hull. The owner had pulled it out of the water years ago with plans to restore it, but life got in the way, and the sailboat became part of the landscape. The trailer was seized in place, blocked by a fence on one side and a storage shed on the other. Getting it out meant working the boat off the stands first, which took some rigging and a second anchor point we ran to a neighbor's property line post. Once we had the weight on the trailer wheels, we angled the rig backward through a narrow side yard, clearing the fence by maybe eighteen inches. The whole operation ran under two hours. We hauled it to our yard in Seminole County, where we dropped the mast and pulled the keel. The hull went to the processor for responsible recycling, and the stands went back empty. Crews cover all of Seminole County: Sanford, Oviedo, Winter Springs, Casselberry, Wekiwa Springs, Lake Mary. Most pickups happen same week. We see a lot of seasonal moves through Altamonte Springs, boats coming in and out of storage facilities around Altamonte Springs. You call, we quote, we schedule. That's the whole thing.
