For about
half a century we’ve been transporting sailboats
of all sizes and ages—even a few built in the
late 1800’s. Following is a small sampling of
sail boat moves. Also, please check out our
America’s Cup
and Racers section. If the best in the
world know and trust us, you can feel confident
in our ability to provide you with the finest
moving service!

Kaiulani
This
beautiful 76' sailboat was built
inland in San Diego. We moved
her over city streets to a
boatyard on Shelter Island for
launching.

CUSTOM CATAMARAN, 46' long X 25'
wide X 18' high. This beautiful
home-built twin-hull sailboat
appears to have traffic baffled,
but the move actually went quite
smoothly with three pilot cars
directing the flow.
When we jack up a boat and load
it, careful
attention
is paid to supporting the vessel
at structural strong-points to
ensure a safe move.

The
'FRANK
EDMUND'
Built in
their
back
yard by
Leland
and
Cecily
Parsons
and
family,
this
unusually
beartiful
65'
schooner
took 29
years to
complete.
Originally
they
believed
the
project
would
take 5
years,
but
"life
intervened".
Shown
here,
the
'FRANK
EDMUND' awaits
launching
as
Leland
(white
shirt
with his
back to
us) is
interviewed
by a few
of the
many
media representatives
present.
Leland
and
Cecily
plan a 5
year
journey
around
the
world.

Racing to beat an incoming rain
storm, which would have delayed
us for weeks, we manually loaded
and then moved this 26 ton
schooner around the Parsons'
house, across their backyard,
through a neighbor's field and
down a dirt road ---- all in 5
hours!
|
|
|
To
manually load a boat like this,
we jack up the boat, place the
bow on a roller track on the
trailer, and meticulously back
the trailer under the boat.
Leland and his family were a big
help in this endeavor.
