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 ☹
