Preparing Your Boat For
Transport
(1) DETACHABLE ITEMS: Take from the boat all removable gear
including masts, standing rigging, canvas (like Biminis, dodgers, boat
covers), anchors, bow pulpits, antennae, and all loose accessories and
items. We cannot be responsible for damage of gear and items that are
not properly secured. Electronics and other fixed accessories may be
left on the boat however, we recommend securing all such items in a
locked cabinet or cabin. The maximum (legal) height for over the road
transport is 13' 6". Tenders may be shipped if well secured within the
hull.
(3) HULL PROTECTION: Boats may be shipped with shrink wrap
however, we cannot be responsible for repairs to the cover will in transit.
Boats may be secured with other types of covers however it is our experience
that these covers will tear and be destroyed during a haul of any reasonable
distance. Secure all movable window, portholes and hatches to prevent
the wind from forcing an opening and damage to the boat. Sailboat masts
should be wrapped with padded covering adequate to protect the hull
from road vibration. |
