I get calls from people who bought a sailboat twenty years ago and the mast came down one fall and never went back up. They kept it in dry storage or a slip in Oakland County, paid the fees year after year, and one day realized they weren't sailing anymore. Other times it's an estate where the boat came with a lake house, or a trailer sailer that's been sitting behind the garage in Novi for a decade, the rigging shot and the hull starting to fail. The survey got run, the sale fell apart, and now there's just a boat nobody wants and nobody knows how to get rid of.
We handle sailboat disposal from start to finish. The crew works Novi, Northville, and Walled Lake on the same trip, so if you're anywhere in that range we can coordinate the haul in one dispatch. We come out, drop the mast if it's still standing, get the rig down, and tow the old boat out. Title work, missing paperwork, storage lot recovery, marina pickup,none of that stops the job. Everything else, the details on how we handle the hull and what happens next, lives on the sailboat disposal page.
