I get calls from people who bought a sailboat with big plans and life got in the way. The mast came down one fall in someone's Commack backyard and never went back up. Ten years later, the boat's still there. Or slip fees in Suffolk County kept climbing while the rig sat idle, so the owner finally stopped paying and started looking for a way out. I've pulled old sailboats from storage lots where they'd been parked behind a garage, from dry storage facilities where monthly costs outlived the owner's interest, and from estates where nobody in the family sails. One came in still on its trailer, survey failed, buyer walked, and the seller was done.
Hansons Boat Removal handles sailboat disposal start to finish in Commack and the same-trip territory covering Elwood and East Northport. We come haul the rig down if it's still standing, load the boat, and tow it out. Missing paperwork, a corroded trailer, a hull that's seen better days, a mast you can't move, a survey that killed the sale,none of that stops the job. The details on how we handle the rigging, the hull, and the material after that are on the sailboat disposal page.
