Dale's take on Tigard

I get calls from Tigard sailors who stopped sailing years ago. The mast came down one fall and never went back up. The slip fees kept climbing, the boat sat on blocks in dry storage, and one day someone in the family asked why we're still paying for something nobody touches. I've hauled old sailboats out of marina lots in Washington County where the rigging had frozen solid, where the survey that killed a sale turned into a decade of neglect. Sometimes it's an estate, sometimes it's a trailer sailer that moved up from California and never fit the Oregon life people imagined.

We handle sailboat disposal start to finish, and we cover the same ground pulling rigs from Tigard through Metzger and Garden Home-Whitford on the same trip. The crew takes down what's left of the standing and running rigging, gets the old boat onto the trailer or truck, and hauls it out. Missing paperwork, no title, unclear ownership, a survey that failed years back,none of that stops the job. You'll find the details on the Oregon sailboat disposal page, but the short answer is this: you call, we come, it's gone.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Tigard

Sailboat disposal in Tigard means we handle the full breakdown. The mast comes down, standing rigging gets cut or salvaged, and the keel comes out at our yard with its scrap value credited back to you. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull goes to the processor. For in-water pickups at a marina or boatyard, we run the haul-out and handle the marina conversation so you don't manage vendors. We also pull vessels from storage lots and driveways across Tigard, Durham, and King City. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How sailboat disposal in Tigard 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 Tigard. 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 Tigard

    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 Oregon sailboat disposal pricing section.

Common questions about Tigard sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Tigard?
Cost tracks length, keel type, and whether the boat sits in the water or on the hard. The pricing section above shows the range. Lead keel scrap value gets credited off the number, and a firm quote comes back from photos.
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?
Lead keels carry real scrap value, and that value comes off your price up front. Iron brings less. Photos of the keel and the boat get us to the right number before we schedule.
Should I just donate the sailboat instead?
Donation makes sense for a boat with survey value — a runnable diesel, sound decks, a rig that will not fail on inspection. Send photos and I will tell you which way yours leans; if the numbers work for a charity, I will say so first.
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 Tigard?
Titling questions belong on the Oregon boat-removal page's legal section. On our side, missing paperwork does not stop the job — proof of disposal comes back to you when the work is done.
What if the boat has been sitting on stands for years?
Years on stands is our most common call. Seized hardware, stained hulls, corroded rigging — none of that changes whether we take the job. The quote already assumes the boat has been sitting.
