Gull Dinghy Collection From Midhurst
Gull Dinghy Collection from Midhurst
Not every boat that the team are tasked to remove are in a boat yard or marina. More often than you’d think the boat breaking team are visiting people’s gardens to remove unwanted vessels. This time the unwanted boat was a Gull Dinghy.
Owners will often store their boats at home, if they have the space (and sometimes even when they don’t). With no storage fees being paid it’s clear the boat goes to the back of their mind. Before ultimately falling into disrepair. That’s where our team come in.
Time to Go
This little Gull dinghy was in a garden near Midhurst. It had been stored there for a number of years some of which whilst up for sale. But the owners recently decided it was time for the boat to go. She was definitely not going to be sailed again by her owners as it looked like they had a couple of other boats.
Our team arrived on the day we had agreed, lifted the dinghy onto the back of the truck, secured her down and we were away. It’s not always so straightforward as this. Sometimes the team end up carrying heavy dinghies through awkward gardens or narrow alleyways. In a worst case scenario we may have to sometimes cut up on site. Luckily for us a Gull dinghy was easy to move and we could park next to her.
What and Where?
If you have an old boat in the garden that you’d like to finally be removed just get in touch. Fill in our contact form, tell us what she is and where and then we can do the rest. Our team will then work out the best solution for your vessel. We may even be able to help you re-home the boat if she’s not too far gone. To help us decide this the best course of action is to take some recent photos and send them in.

Without Luke we would be lost, he runs the office, keeps us organised and is like a terrier and never lets a tricky boat disposal job go un-photographed or Tweeted about.
He also manages all of our enquiries passing them to whoever in the team is the best suited to deal with it. We are teaching Luke how to drive a motorboat or sail a yacht so while he’s learning we suggest you keep out of the Solent!
