Check out a mast being dropped on a Coronado 30. The boat is at its "end of life" and heading to the scrap yard.

You're a monster.
(Or not. I once smelled the inside of a leaky old Coronado 30 and wished I could have sunk the boat then and there.) -
A couple of years ago my marina murdered these boats.
I'm sure at least one or two of them had an A4 as well.

Hmm, cutting a cable under tension with a angle grinder next to your face. Safe.
I myself would have just removed the pins.Gary

Do you know the person disposing of the Coronado 30? If so I would be interested in talking with him and maybe getting a few parts for my not leaking and not-so-stinky boat.
Thanks!ScottComment

Yes - what do you need? I'm the guy. The boat won't be around much longer, keel is off, will be going to the dump soon.Comment

sad, but just like crushing an old car. Hopefully you guys hook up!-Shawn

It's necessary. In Southern California there are a lot of old boats. Slip fees and monthly costs are high. It seems like the younger boaters would rather have something new and shiny with fresh polyester smell than an older boat. Boat owners have a hard time selling the older ones. Marinas end up owning some for back slip fees. We get them from desperate owners and the marinas. Marinas in Orange county don't allow the slip to transfer to the new owner if the boat is sold - makes it hard to sell a boat.
Just this month we scrapped an Ericson 35 mk1
, a Catalina 27 (they come apart way too easy - the keels com off like butter), TMI 27 (one of the tougher better made boats I have seen), Wyle 34, the Coronado 30 and a few power boats. We try to save the better boats but its hard to find anyone who will pay what the scrap value is. My partner managed to save a Morgan 382 recently by finding it a new owner.
Even salvaged parts seem harder to sell than years ago.
Hopefully people will step up and save the good ones. I will keep making room in the marinas for new ones.Comment

Was the video King Harbor? I think I see the parking structure in the background.Neil

Yes. That is the King Harbor boat hoist. Very inexpensive to haul a boat and set on a trailer. $40 verses $300+ at the boatyard.Comment

The Coronado has a nice clean Atomic 4. previous owner said it was rebuilt. Hasn't been run in a while because the fuel tank is out. Turns over by hand. It's for sale in the Los Angeles, CA area.Comment

If I was still in SD, and it was a couple of years ago, I would have asked for the push/pulpits, stanchions, pedestal, and, oh yeah, the A4. But now I would love to get my hands on a couple of drawer fronts from the starboard-side companionway and the head. Are they still there and in decent shape?ScottComment

Hey SailboatGuy, I'm lookin for an A4. Didn't see it on craigs or anywhere.Comment

You can send me a PM. I have atomic 4's, a v-drive, steering pedestals, winches, windlasses, etcComment

There is an historic boat that may be scrapped soon. Google HIGHLAND LIGHT sailboat. It has been neglected too long. Sunk in the slip and re-floated. So much history!https://goo.gl/images/J7yTraComment
