I get calls from Bethlehem owners in two situations mostly. First, the mast came down one fall and never went back up. The rigging sat slack for years. Survey time came, the buyer walked, the asking price dropped twice, and now the boat's just taking up slip space at a marina while the fees pile up. Second situation: the sailboat came with the lake house or the property, and nobody in the family sails. It's an old boat nobody wants, and the storage lot charges rent every month to keep it standing there. Both owners hit the same wall. They can't sell it. They can't afford to keep paying.
Hansons Boat Removal handles the full sailboat disposal start to finish. We come to Bethlehem, Fountain Hill, and the DeSales University area on the same trip. We assess the rig, drop the mast if it's still up, and tow the old sailboat out. Missing paperwork, no title, unclear ownership, a lien from an old slip fee,none of that stops the job. Full details on how we handle the whole process are on the Pennsylvania sailboat disposal page.
