Dale's take on Arnold

I get calls from people in Arnold who bought a sailboat ten years ago and the mast came down one fall and never went back up. They've got a 28-foot Catalina or a Pearson sitting in a storage lot in Jefferson County, and the slip fees or storage fees have long since outrun any use. Sometimes it's an estate, a house that came with a sailboat nobody in the family sails. Sometimes it's a trailer sailer that moved here from another state and got buried behind the garage, and now there's no room for anything else. The rigging is seized. The hull's got soft spots. The survey failed years ago and killed the sale.

We handle sailboat disposal from Arnold through to finish. The crew covers Imperial and Kimmswick on the same run, so if you're in that territory we're already rolling your way. We drop the mast, secure the rigging, get it on the trailer or truck, and haul it out. Missing paperwork, no title, no registration, a survey that never happened, none of that stops the job. Details on how we handle the whole thing are on the Missouri sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Arnold

Sailboat disposal in Arnold means we handle the full breakdown. The mast comes down and standing rigging is cut away or salvaged. We haul the keel out at our yard, and its scrap value gets credited against your price. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull goes to the processor. For boats in the water at a marina or boatyard, we run the haul-out and manage the marina conversation, so you don't coordinate vendors. Whether your vessel is docked in Arnold, Barnhart, or Murphy, the process steps below show how scheduling works.

How sailboat disposal in Arnold works

  1. 1

    Send photos, rig status, and the pickup ZIP

    Length, keel type, whether the mast is up or already down, and access notes for the yard or slip in Arnold. Photos of the rig and any winches or hardware set the number.

  2. 2

    Get a firm quote back the same day

    One number covers rig-down through disposal. Keel scrap value is credited off the total up front, not owed back after.

  3. 3

    Schedule pickup and marina coordination in Arnold

    If the boat is in a slip we run the marina office and the crane call. On stands or on a trailer we set a date and window; the crew calls when they are an hour out.

  4. 4

    Rig-down and load

    Mast unstepped, standing rigging cut or salvaged, spreaders and boom stacked and strapped. Usable sails, winches, and hardware come off before the hull leaves.

  5. 5

    Keel out, hull processed, documentation

    The keel is unbolted or cut at our yard, weighed, and sold to the metal recycler; the fiberglass hull is cut down and routed to a processor. You get proof of disposal and the hull ID record.

    Metal keel, rigging, winches, and salvageable hardware are routed to recyclers first. Only what a facility refuses ends up in a landfill.

The starting number at the top of this page is real. Length, keel type, and whether the boat sits in the water or on the hard move it from there. Lead keel scrap value is credited off — details on the Missouri sailboat disposal pricing section.

Common questions about Arnold sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Arnold?
Length and keel type set most of it. Lead scrap value credits back against the number. Send photos of the boat and the rig and the quote comes back the same day, firm.
Can you take a sailboat straight out of a marina slip?
Yes — slip pickups are routine. We call the marina, book the crane, and pull the mast on the ramp if that is where it makes sense. One point of contact all the way through.
Is the lead keel worth anything?
Yes. Lead recovers more per pound at scrap than iron, and the value gets credited against the price. We confirm keel type from photos before we quote because it moves the number more than almost anything else.
Should I just donate the sailboat instead?
Donation works when the boat still has resale value. A stalled restoration or a stripped hull almost never qualifies. Send photos and I will tell you honestly which route makes sense.
What happens to the mast, rigging, and sails?
We unstep the mast, coil or salvage the standing rigging, and pull winches, cleats, and any usable sails before the hull leaves. Metals get recycled and sails get sold or donated when they are still good.
Do I need a title to dispose of a sailboat in Arnold?
Missing paperwork does not stop the pickup. What Missouri requires for the paperwork side lives on the Missouri boat-removal page, in the legal section. We handle what we can from our end.
What if the boat has been sitting on stands for years?
A boat on stands for a decade is exactly what this service is for. Nothing about the condition surprises the crew. The quote is built for boats that need the work we are already doing.
