I was going to ask that too. Is the boat not useable right now?

Long story short, we are now getting ready to have our 25, Sweet Chariot, moved from Washington DC to Solomons MD on the Chesapeake. A much longer drive, but better sailing and boat yard options. We've never had her moved by trailer, and I'm curious what we should expect of the hauler. One says we should have the boat fully prepped with mast secured to deck. Another said they prefer to do it all themselves (which I also prefer). Any tips for getting her ready for a road trip or dealing with boat haulers? We've checked with a few people in the area, but any recommendations would be appreciated as well! Thanks!

We brought her up from Edgewater MD in 2017 via the Potomac and it is a pretty interesting trip that I'd happily recommend! Still, it is a solid four days if everything goes well. Last time we interrupted the trip due to a couple days of strong thunderstorms. It took five days, not including the week she sat scared and lonely at a strange (but friendly!) marina with little more than a committee of buzzards for company. With work/travel obligations keeping us busy until late October, the shorter days will be a challenge with a 3.5 cruising speed (motoring with hope of some sailing). To the 25's credit, we only managed to average about 4.5 over a week and half on a Bavaria 41 (mostly low winds, but still). This option is very much on the table. We had a feeling this suggestion would come up pretty quick. It's a good one!

With such a short haul, I don't know if this would be worth the effort. But when we brought Alera from Niagara on the Lake to Seattle, Rob MacLachlan, of South Shore Yachts who de-commissioned her for transport, suggested we cover the hull with a layer ofJoy dish soap. We did and when she got here we washed it off and it took the road grit and salt with it.
