Re: transporting a T27


 

Still trying to figure out the same thing right now, but moving from
Berkeley to Albany. Hauling companies are quoting the neighborhood
of $5500 which I'm not opposed to but money is money and I am not
a rich man. Pulling the mast, putting it back, and haul-outs are on
top of that. This is my most likely route.

I emailed with the details
after failing to get them on the phone. They promise instant quotes.
Got a two word reply -- "in october". I'm still trying to figure that
out.

I have a listing open on uship.com to hire a company to haul but this
seems horrible as well. The site says average is $4618 for that
size/distance. I've gotten two quotes for close to $7000 so far.

Looks like used trailers can be had for about $2500 but I can't actually
get anyone with a Craigslist listing to respond.

looks like they have some reasonable
ones in that range. I've been trying to get them on the phone and figure
out if they'll work with a delivery ckompany but about a dozen tries,
they're always on the road, or don't answer, or something. When I did
talk to them briefly while they were on the road, they seemed really
confused about the idea of shipping and suggested finding something
local. Not many places seem to deal in used trailers.

Quote for new is about $7000. I'd still have $3000 in truck rental
and fuel ahead of me, or else about as much for eg someone on
uship.com to pick up the trailer and deliver and I'd still have to fly
out again and get the trailer registered.

It would be nice if the lot of us all had a trailer somewhere for
occasions like this.

One fellow on here built one out of an old tow RV chassis. Wonder if that's
up for loan.

I've been working on this for months. Wish I could pull her behind the
moving truck I pick up in two days, but it's been a time vampire and everyone
has sucked me dry.

Hopefully other people have experience and ideas.

Good luck =|

Sailing through the river system is probably too long a trip for me right
now, but might reconsider in the fall if no other good options. I don't
own a trailer or truck, but would consider buying a trailer if I could
find a way to tow it on rare occasions like this.
Ideas...?
thanks.
