| United Container Line | International boat transport Don Smith From United Container Line, Inc. with years of experience shipping Etchells globally, will assist with groups to Long Beach, CA from Australia and the UK. |
| Rick Peters | Domestic boat transport Rick Peters We work with boat importers and exporters to assure their boats are properly handled and arrive at the destination damage free. |
| Ian Storer | Southern California Boat Transport Ian Storer Ian Storer has been sailing Etchells for several years with equal experience on boat transportation within California. Containers coming to San Diego are normally unloaded at the port of Long Beach and ferried to a warehouse near San Diego by truck (inside the container) or unloaded near the port and driven (on trailer) directly to San Diego Yacht Club by someone like Ian, using his own car. One of the great advantages is that you will have an expert Etchells sailor and fleet member handling your boat and rig, when unloading your boat out of the container, ultimately saving both time and also money. |
