Where to Keep a 25ft. Sailboat?
Well it looks like I may not sell my 1983 Catalina-25 before I move up to the area so I am exploring the possibility of bringing it up and sailing it on the big lake. I know the season is short and I plan to be busy with a whole lot of other activities so I'm looking for the least expensive option for storing (summer and winter). I am also looking for folks who haul boats from NJ to NH.
If you have suggestions for me, please feel to post or PM me. Here is a link to pictures of my boat, Mysterious: http://www.catepoole.com/Mysterious_...le/Photos.html Fixing up this boat has been a labor of love. |

Cate,
I think the first question is where do you think your going to buy or have bought a home. I would say that would be the first link on where to advise you to look into mooring, and storing you boat. Obviously you want some place close to home, so you will be motivated to use the boat more. As for transportation, I would check with Fays boat yard to start. As they are local, and I know do a lot of work with sailboats....They may not do transport but they might know an outfit that does. There is also from doing a quick search Miles Marine located in NH that does transportation... There is also this company: http://www.brownellsystems.com/ The other option that I can think of is a company out of Vermont, called FOX Marine, they used to have a pretty bring transportation business, and I know had the equipment to move sailboats such as yours.

Barn, Cate?

There are plenty of barns in New Hampshire and the owners rent out space: try "wanted" ads—ask at barns. http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/...y&categoryid=3 Point out that storing a sailboat is more desirable than storing a motor vehicle. A motor vehicle carries its gasoline hazard everywhere it goes, but your gas tank and engine can be kept someplace else. |

You could try the Wolfeboro Corinthian Yacht Club in Wolfeboro. I don't know if you need to be a member to keep your boat there.

Why not sail it from NJ to NH? That would dramatically reduce the transport cost and would be a fun trip. I think it's about 300 statute miles from Brick to the NH seacoast if you take the Cape Cod Canal. You could do it in three or four days. Gorgeous time of year for such a journey...

Miles Marine
I second the suggestion of using Miles Marine.
They are a great family and do a good job. I have used them before to move a large boat from Lake Ontario to Winnipesaukee and the service was great and the price was fair. They also store some boats during the off season so you could ask them about that too. Miles Marine: 603-527-1887. |

You can post a load on Uship.com and get a quote there. I move all of my boats using uship. They will pick it up and drop it back in here for you. You set the timeline and conditions. There are plenty of carriers on there that do sailboats.
I just had my 31' Sonic hauled back from AZ using a hauler found on Uship. he was great, and dealt with many trailer related issues for me along the way. |

I brought my Hunter 33.5 up the coast from Stratford CT this Spring. It took about a week, but we were laid up in RI for 3 days due to weather. I had Miles Marine haul it from Kittery to Fays Boat yard. It's a great excuse to do some coastal sailing if you have the time.
