I get calls from people in Wyoming who bought a sailboat ten or fifteen years ago and figured they'd sail it. The mast came down one fall and never went back up. Or they moved here with a house that had a slip fee attached, and the sailing never happened, so now they're paying marina storage on a boat they don't use. I've pulled rigs out of Kent County where the owner inherited the place but nobody in the family sails, or where a restoration stalled halfway through the deck core and the whole project went cold. There's a lot of trailer sailers buried behind garages here too, boats that came with the property or got towed in from out of state and just sat. A failed survey can kill a sale fast. One bad report and the buyer walks, and suddenly you own an old sailboat nobody wants.
Sailboat disposal in Wyoming means we come out, assess the rig, get the mast down if it's still standing, and tow the whole thing start to finish. The crew handles jobs from Wyoming into Grandville and Grand Rapids on the same trip, so geography isn't a problem. We deal with boats in slip, storage lots, dry storage stands, or sitting on a trailer in your yard. Missing paperwork doesn't stop us either. Details on how we handle the full process, the rigging, and what comes after are on the Michigan sailboat disposal page.
