I'm in a predicament!

[Plymouth Sailor]

My son has been treated for cancer for the last 6 months so I've had to use my vacation time to accompany him and there's nothing left. My hauling company only hauls on weekdays. Has anyone hired someone to move their boat from bringing it to the dock and then hauling. This may seem like a frivolous post however I can't leave work w/o vaca time. Any suggestions helpful!

If I was in the area I would offer you an hand, I presume the boat is on a mooring and all you need is an able body to move it to a hoisting well? Correct?

IF it is within the same harbor, the hauling marina will probably do it for a very small fee using a workboat. Common.

This or Vessel Assist commonly moves boats to the yard without the owner in our harbor.

Yes, I know it's early however around these parts it starts to get quite cold in November so want to haul out sometime in October. Any suggestions appreciated!

See if you can arrange to move the boat into the hoisting well or to a slip adjacent sometime over a weekend so they can haul it the following Monday.

@Plymouth Sailor I'm very sorry to hear about your son. I hope the treatment is going well.

Our marina will allow this, or they'll tow it from my slip to the hoist for $25. Unless I have something else to do on the boat just before haulout, I always let them town it. It's worth $25 for the time saved.

Wow. My marina is around $90 for a tow, last time I looked at an invoice.

Nice boat, no wonder why, is the length 35, 40, 45?

That was for my Catalina 36, and it was several years ago.

Current boat is a Tartan 3800. I don't know what they would charge for a tow, don't know if the charge is length-based.

Thanks, he rang the bell (last treatment) now recovery from chemo which is a necessary poison.

Wish you were at our club, members will do that job for free and assure your boat is lifted correctly. Six members are licensed to lift using the club crane (max. 10,000lbs)

How far is it form your dock to the lift?

Mooring to lift is approximately a 10th to 2 10ths of a mile.

It's a short tow for us and boat length doesn't enter into the equation.

 

[Plymouth Sailor]

They should put a ramp in the corner there.

If the Lear Jet wasn't in the shop, again.....
I'm sorry I'm so far away. I'm chomping at the bit to get out on a boat, being in the yard and all, even if it is only 1/10 of a mile or so.
