Scrap a Small Boat

The Boatbreakers team journeyed to a quiet countryside garden near Wolverhampton for a sensitive clearance job.

Hidden away in a driveway in West Sussex, a wooden Wayfarer dinghy had spent the last few years gathering moss rather than memories.

This job for a local sailing club in Havant presented a unique challenge involving a modern casualty: a Whaly boat.

This call-out to Hemel Hempstead was a classic case of a small boat becoming a big problem. The target was a diminutive red Shetland boat, perched precariously on a rusty trailer, which had been a permanent fixture on the owner’s driveway for a number of years.

Laser Dinghies were like buses for the Boatbreakers team. We waited for one to come in and then two came along at once. Although from different areas of the country.

The Boat breaking team were out on the road again to collect a Topper Topaz dinghy from the side of a house.

Our boat disposal team were in Netley to remove a GP14 sailing dinghy. We always enjoy a dinghy collection as the loading process is usually a hands on affair.

Our team were contacted by a gentleman who had an old dinghy in his driveway. The dinghy was an Osprey Mk III.

The Boatbreakers team were on the road to Dorset to remove an old Wayfarer dinghy. She had been stored on a trailer outside of the owners home for a number of years. They had now come to the realisation that she was never going to be sailed again.

The Boat breaking team were on the road again to remove an old boat hull from a garden in Surrey. The boat hull had been a long term project for the former owner of the house.

Not every boat that the team are tasked to remove are in a boat yard or marina.

Not every boat that we scrap is in a boat yard. More often they are in people's gardens, garages or driveways.
