Re: USA-068 For Sale

[ryoalty <ryoalty@xxxxxxxxx>]

Karl,
 
I'd be happy to crate up and send it.  I'd see no problem in getting it very 
secure to ship via commercial ground transportation.   The idea is then to find 
a company willing to deal with nut bag sailors for a one off transport deal, at 
a reasonable price.

Any chance you have a forklift?  The boat on the strong back is moveable, and 
can be moved by hand, but with the shipping crate, forget about it.  Also the 
strips are 16 foot and likely could be fit in diagonally in the crate.  Details 
regarding picking up or dropping off at a depot theoretically can be worked out 
by talking to the agent at the 800 number listed.
 
What do you think?

About the only thing I can think of is to put the boat in a crate and the  
spars back in the tube they were shipped in and send it via truck unless  
someone is willing to drive across country with a box trailer and pick it  
up.
