AFFORDABLE SAILBOAT SHIPPING SERVICES

 

Looking for someone with a SUV or truck with a 2” tow hitch to transport a 17' boat that is currently secured onto a boat trailer and deliver it to its destination. Driver would haul the boat and trailer from the start origin of Youngwood, PA 15697 and drive it to Lancaster, PA 17604, roughly 200 miles.  

 

 

Shipper would need to secure mast, boom, roller furler and standing rigging for the delivery. Boat is in S. Yarmouth, Mass and will need to be delivered to Blue Hill Maine. Boat is on Jack Stands and will be put on same at destination.  

As I am not at the boat now I am estimating the height at 12’. I believe it will be less. Also the mast is keel stepped. so until it is demasted I can only estimate the length at 48’ to 49’. Dismasting will happen 5/15 so hoping to ship later that week or next at latest. Boat design is available on line as Morgan 32 or Morgan 323. This is the shallow draft version at 4.5 ‘. The design on line is deep draft at 5.33’.  

Boat on trailer in warehouse. New boat, trailer is unregistered so there is no license plate. Boat is otherwise packed and ready to go.  

 

This is a small, lightweight sailboat. The length is 12’0”. The width is 4’8”. The weight is 140 lbs. The boat sits on a lightweight, steel dolly w/ 2 small wheels (the wheels are about 5’ apart) and ideally should be transported on this dolly and strapped down firmly w/ ratchet straps. The boat cannot be towed on the dolly. The height of the boat while strapped down on dolly is about 3 feet high. The ideal set up for transporting this boat would be in a box trailer, on top of a flatbed trailer or possibly small car hauler type trailer. The boat should stay on its’ dolly and be strapped down good w/ ratchet straps. The masts (light, aluminum poles) will be down and disassembled into 3 sections each about 10ft long. These should ideally go inside the tow vehicle or get lashed down to the trailer well. The sails for this boat will be rolled up in bags (about 8ft long) and must be transported inside vehicle. The rudder and centerboard are 2ft long and must be transported inside tow vehicle. Please note, this boat is not on a "boat trailer" and cannot be towed via its dolly.  

 

Mast length is 28-4 (to be shipped horizontally) Overall height of boat on trailer w/o mast is 7-3" Overall height of boat on trailer w mast tied above boat is 7'-8"  

 

 

Trailer can be towed or put on a flatbed trailer. Price adjusted to reflect delivery without crossing the Canadian border
