I get calls from people who bought into the sailing life and then stopped. One guy had a 26-foot Catalina sitting in a Tangipahoa Parish slip. The mast came down one fall during a blow, and between the repair estimate and the annual fees, he never put it back up. Five years later he was still paying storage. Another call came from an estate executor in Hammond. The house came with a trailer sailer that had been parked behind the garage for a decade. The heirs didn't sail. Nobody knew the rigging was shot until a surveyor looked at it during probate. The sale fell through.
We handle sailboat disposal start to finish in Hammond. The crew covers the whole parish, and on the same run we pick up rigs in Natalbany and Ponchatoula. We come in, rig down, haul the old sailboat on the truck, and move it out. Missing paperwork, a seized winch, a split core in the deck, a mast that won't come down clean, a trailer that barely rolls. None of it stops the job. Details on how we handle each of those situations are on the sailboat disposal page.
