Hauling a sailboat out of a Bakersfield driveway

This 25 ft O'Day 25 had been up on stands in a Bakersfield driveway long enough that the keel bolts were weeping rust streaks down the hull, two dark trails you could see from the street. Whoever set it up years back leveled the stands well, but the tires under the trailer frame had gone flat and cracked, so the whole rig sat low and wouldn't roll. Kern County driveways run narrow, and this one backed onto a route that funnels traffic toward Oildale, so we timed the pull for a quiet stretch of morning. The mast was already down, lashed along the deck, which saved us a step. Getting the hull off dead stands without a rolling trailer was the real problem. We jacked it, cribbed it, and walked it onto our own dolly a few inches at a time. Took most of a morning start to finish. No title in the drawer, handled per the California page rules. Back at our yard, the keel came out, and the fiberglass hull got cut down and routed to the processor. Crews cover all of Kern County: Delano, Oildale, East Niles, Ridgecrest, Wasco, Rosamond. Most 25 ft O'Day pickups in Bakersfield get scheduled the same week you call, whether the boat's sitting in a side yard or parked at a storage lot off Highway 99. We handle a lot of seasonal moves too, folks pulling a sailboat out of long-term storage just to finally let it go instead of paying another year on the space.
