I get calls from people in Holyoke who bought a sailboat years back and figured they'd use it. The mast came down one fall and never went back up. Now it's sitting in dry storage or taking up a slip at one of the local clubs, and the marina fees are higher than the boat's worth. I've hauled sailboats from estates where nobody in the family sails, boats that came with a house purchase up here in Hampden County and turned into someone else's problem. The rigging on a sailboat makes it different from a powerboat, and when the rig corrodes or the survey fails, the sale falls apart. That's when people call.
We handle sailboat disposal start to finish in Holyoke, and we cover the same trip out to Chicopee and West Springfield Town for customers in that part of the county. We rig down, we tow, we handle the paperwork. Missing titles, expired registrations, boats with no documentation at all, those don't stop the job. The details on how we strip and recycle the old sailboat are on the Massachusetts sailboat disposal page.
