Sadler 25 Removal at Wicor Marine Portchester

Project Sadler 25 Recycling

Finding the tipping point in a boat restoration is a familiar story for many boat owners. What starts as a weekend project can quickly spiral into a mountain of tasks. Which was exactly the case for a Sadler 25 sitting on the hard standing at Wicor Marine in Portchester.

The vessel had been hauled out for the off-season. So her owner could work through his to-do list. However, as mechanical complications with the engine mounted and the list of required repairs kept growing by the day. Her owner made the practical decision to cut his losses. Recognising that continuing to pour money into the project no longer made financial sense. He chose the far more cost-effective route of professional boat disposal with Boatbreakers.

Ready for Loading

Prepping the Sadler 25 yacht for haul-out was a team effort. The skilled yard crew at Wicor Marine dropped her mast and worked alongside us to prepare the hull for transport. Because she was tucked safely near the back of the yard. There was a brief wait while other vessels were launched for the season. But as soon as the surrounding bays cleared, the marina team moved her into position, ready for our truck to load up.

While the hull had reached the end of its journey, the Sadler 25 certainly didn’t go to waste. Back at our facility, our teardown crew managed to salvage a wealth of high-quality marine parts and hardware. Those components were listed directly on our boatscrapyard.com shop and have already been sold. Which we hope will help other sailors to keep their own boats running smoothly.

Valuable Hardstanding Space

The owner walked away with peace of mind, Wicor Marine reclaimed valuable hard standing space. And usable parts found a second life at sea, a great result all around.
