Clearing the Club Yard: Collecting an Old Skipper Dinghy in Berkshire

Every sailing club has a corner where older boats quietly wait for a restoration that never quite happens. Recently, the Boatbreakers team headed out to a sailing club in Berkshire to help a member do the right thing and clear away an aging Skipper dinghy before it became a permanent fixture in the club’s storage yard.

Time to Let Go

The Skipper dinghy had seen plenty of years on the water, but age and weathering had finally caught up with her. The owner openly admitted that he was never going to find the time or resources to get her back afloat.

Rather than letting the dinghy sit and slowly deteriorate in the club’s shared boat storage, taking up valuable space meant for active members, he decided to take proactive action. Instead of leaving behind an abandoned project for someone else to deal with, he reached out to Boatbreakers to handle the removal and responsible disposal.

A Smooth Club Clearance

Fortunately, collecting a small dinghy from a club yard is a straightforward task when everyone is on board. Once our team arrived on-site in Berkshire, we quickly loaded the lightweight hull onto our transport vehicle. In no time at all, the space was cleared, leaving the sailing club yard a little tidier and saving the owner any further worry.

Ultimately, it was a great outcome for all involved. The owner wrapped up an old chapter without leaving a mess behind, and the sailing club got their valuable storage space back. Whether it is a tiny dinghy at a local club or a cruiser in a commercial yard, Boatbreakers is always ready to help clear out the old to make room for the new.
