It is the owner that is fragile, not the boat. She is in her mid-70s, with bad bones in her back, and with stainless steel rods holding things together. The boat is well looked after and just had a haul out and a minor refit. She has been in Florida too long, is fed up with it, and would much rather sail it back through Panama herself but reluctantly admits she is no longer up to the task. I have suggested it might be cheaper for her to work her way around to Texas and truck it from there but again she would need a sailing companion even for that. Money is not unlimited and she is exploring her options. - A long-time liveaboard sailor.

If the boat is too fragile to just sail to San Diego, is the boat worth shipping across the country?
I could probably find a fragile old 35 foot boat for $25K in California.
Also note the Canadian shipper *might* be able to ship the boat to Canada and then ship her to San Diego, but you might have to pay customs both ways ☹
