Dale's take on Clovis

Most calls come from two situations. First, the mast came down one fall and never went back up. The rigging corroded. The survey failed. The sale fell through. Now the old sailboat sits in dry storage or on a trailer behind the garage, and the slip fees or storage lot rent keep arriving. Second, a sailboat moved in with a property sale, or it's part of an estate where nobody sails. The rig is seized. The hull's been sitting for years. The owner never wanted a boat in the first place, and now they're stuck with one.

We handle sailboat disposal start to finish. One call tells us the mast condition, the trailer status, and where it's parked. We schedule a haul, show up, rig it down, load it, and tow it out. Clovis sits between Cannon AFB and Texico, and we move boats across that whole territory. Missing paperwork, no title, unclear ownership,none of that stops the job. Details on how the crew removes the old sailboat and what happens next are on the New Mexico sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Clovis

Sailboat disposal in Clovis means we handle the full breakdown of your vessel from start to finish. The mast comes down and standing rigging is cut away or salvaged. We pull the keel at our yard and credit its scrap value against your cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull gets cut and routed to the processor. Whether your boat sits in a storage lot, boatyard, or driveway, we run the haul-out. For in-water pickups near Melrose or Grady, we manage the marina conversation so you don't have to. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How sailboat disposal in Clovis 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 Clovis. 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 Clovis

    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 New Mexico sailboat disposal pricing section.

Common questions about Clovis sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Clovis?
Depends on hull length, keel type, and where it sits. The pricing section above shows the range for Clovis. Whatever the keel weighs in lead comes off the price up front.
Can you take a sailboat straight out of a marina slip?
Slip-out pickups are one of the most common calls. Crane time, marina paperwork, and the mast conversation happen on our side. You approve the schedule and we handle the rest.
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?
If a charity can resell your boat, donation is the best deal going. Boats that sat neglected for years usually will not pass survey. Send photos and I will tell you which side of that line yours falls on.
What happens to the mast, rigging, and sails?
The mast comes down at the boat or at our yard, then metal recycling handles the rigging. Sails and hardware in decent shape come off first and are spoken for before the hull is cut.
Do I need a title to dispose of a sailboat in Clovis?
Missing paperwork does not stop the pickup. What New Mexico requires for the paperwork side lives on the New Mexico 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?
Time on stands does not stop the pickup. Rot, missing bottom paint, stuck through-hulls — every one of those is normal for a boat like that. The quote factors it in.
