Re: Stus-List Trucking to Georgian Bay
If you do anything, and things go south you will have a problem assigning blame. If you let them do everything relating to moving the boat; they are responsible. I shipped a C from Boston to San Diego. The damage (minor) was covered by the trucking company as they did all the work. (Apart from the fact that my time was valuable, moving the household too.)

A light coating of Joy or some other dish washing soap over the entire exterior of you boat will make cleaning off any road dirt much simpler. Also watch for any possible chafing from the tie downs.

Re: Stus-List Trucking to Georgian Bay
Steve; I have had three different boats trucked for long distances; assuming your are dealing with a reputable company, there are a few things you should do; first make sure everything that can move in the inside is secured, tied, taped or removed from the boat; then take lots of photos for insurance purposes; you can't have too many! Most of the time you will wrap the mast and all of the rigging in plastic. Tie off the wheel so the rudder wont move during transport. Sometimes they will want the electronics removed from the binnacle... I have found that upon completion of the delivery, the truck drivers appreciate a tip when they do a good job, (actually all of the time), so have a little cash ready; then enjoy the experience; its really something to see your boat going down the highway at 60+ mph!

The folks at Andrews Trucking head quartered in Niagara on the Lake, the outfit that brought Alera out from Niagara on the Lake to Seattle for me and also did the majority of the North American deliveries of all C7C's made there, recommended against the wrap.

Steve, We keep Crazy Legs at Midland Bay Sailing Club. About 5 minutes south of Bay Moorings by car! I have been sailing out of Midland for at least 20 years. And going to the north channel for about 25 years. The north channel is an exceptional destination. We brought our boat up by water from Port Credit and it was a 5 or 6 day trip. We haven't trucked a boat but will be glad to talk Georgian Bay when you get up here.

Great feedback all! Thank you and I'm thrilled to hear there's listers up there! I spoke to one gentlemen with a Landfall 39, I think, when we visited. All the people I spoke to up there were great. Advice heeded! Tom, interesting you mention Andrew's trucking because they're moving my boat!!! I only have an autopilot on the binnacle and I don't think it's taller than the cabin. I will make sure though! I was going to remove the stanchions and lifelines just because .. that way I can simply throw a tarp over it when I get it up there.

Re: Stus-List Trucking to Georgian Bay
When I moved my 26 from Gimili to Edmonton I left the stantions and lifelines. I was planning to take them off but decided against it due to I thought it too much work and too risky if something broke. Remember everything is old and may never have been removed. I put a bungee over the lines to the toerail to pull the slack out and 1500 km later nothing moved. I move the boat 100 km each way on launch and crane out. I have continued the same practice and have no issues.

I'm loading her on a truck next Thursday and we're saying goodbye to Lake Ontario. It's been nice but we've done the Thousand Islands two years in a row and really want to get up to the North Channel. I've never trucked a boat before. Anyone have some tips to share? I'm bringing her to a marina with a travel lift. They are taking the mast down and hauling. The trucking co is doing the loading, including the folded cradle. From there they're driving up to Midland to Bay Moorings Marina where their travel lift will bring her down and onto the cradle. The trucking co told me to keep my cradle pads in the locker so that they can get at them when they are there, but aside from that, no other tips. I'm sure there are things I'm not considering! Anyone have any recommendations or things to consider when trucking a boat? Mast lays down alongside the boat on their trailer, not on deck. I'm thinking about removing my stanchions and lifelines just because. Anyone here at Bay Moorings Marina in Midland? That's where we'll be landing. Would be nice to know if any other listers are around. Would be great to have a brain to pick about anchorages and gotchas in the area.

Re: Stus-List Trucking to Georgian Bay
Our boat was trucked from Racine, Wisconsin to Halifax, Nova Scotia in mid March 2006..the boat was not covered or protected in any way from the road debris.the mast was wrapped. The boat was very dirty when it arrived (daaa..mid March road salt & debris) but there was no damage to the white gelcoat .a good wash down and all looked fine. The suggestion of coating the hull with liquid soap.hmmmsounds like it might be fine.or could it attract and hold onto dirt that might normally be blown off? Don't knowno experience doing it. You still have to give the boat a good wash with it covered in soap. Rob Abbott AZURA C - 84 Halifax, N.S.

They felt that if it came loose the potential damage far outweighed the benefit.
