26 ft Pearson Removal in Berwyn, IL

A 26 ft Pearson 26 sailboat had been sitting on stands in a Berwyn driveway for years, the deck core soft and failing around every stanchion. The fiberglass was compromised enough that you could push a finger through in half a dozen spots, and the owner knew it wasn't coming back. He'd held onto it through two winters, thinking maybe he'd sell it, but no one was interested in a boat that needed serious structural work. The real problem was the trailer. It wasn't mobile anymore, and the boat itself was too heavy and too deteriorated to move safely without proper rigging. We brought a crane down from the Chicago side to lift the hull off the stands, then loaded it onto a flatbed. The mast came down first, and once we had the boat at our yard, we removed the keel. After that, the hull went to the processor as fiberglass scrap. The whole job took most of a morning from first contact to last piece loaded. Crews cover all of Cook County: Chicago, Proviso, Maine, Elgin, Hanover, Orland. We schedule most pickups the same week you call. A lot of our work in Berwyn happens in spring and fall, when boat owners move rigs in and out of storage before the season shifts. Whether your 26-footer is on a trailer in a driveway or sitting in a yard, we handle the load-out and haul.
