Hi,

Can anyone recommend a company to transport a 35' yacht from Brighton to Emsworth?

Thanks

It's only a day sail!! Mind you the weather is atrocious at the moment!

Hi,

That was plan A but the insurance won't cover the rigging until it has been replaced.

Don't want to risk it out in open seas even unloaded - rigging is 20 years old.

I really wouldn't worry about this if you are motoring. It's a simple 40M day passage, much less hassle than taking it by road IMO

We delivered ours from Fareham to Brighton when we bought her without replacing the standing rigging. At that stage the rigging was c.18 years old. The insurance company was aware and said that they would not cover us if there was a failure during the voyage. It was early May and the wind was very light so we motorsailed all the way. Therefore there was little strain on the rigging.
If the insurance company will play ball and you are prepared to take the risk it would be possible to sail or motor given the right weather window. In my experience, getting thrown about by the swell in Brighton Marina entrance is likely to put the biggest strain on the rigging!

Thanks for the practical solutions. Would do it if the weather opportunities were better and I had the time to catch them!
