Seeking recommendations for an inexpensive DIY yard in MA

Post by Greg Kozlowski »

Hi everybody,
Might be buying yet another Cape Dory in MA and looking for an inexpensive yard to store her till summer. She's sitting on the hard already and will have to be trucked to a yard, so recommendations on low cost, reliable transport would be helpful, too.
Thanks in advance,
Greg K.

A few years back, I stored my CD25 at Tech Performance in Ipswich, MA. Not much in the way of facilities but was reasonable.

Since we moved to Maine 10 years ago we haven't used them but when we kept our boat in Mattapoisett we used Brownell for transport and they stored our mast. They also have an inland DIY yard that at the time was not to expensive.
