Where Boats Go To DIE : Visiting A Boat Junkyard in Search of Parts for SV TRITEIA

Episode #176 : DOOMED YACHTS and New Life for Old Parts…..
We finally made it out to the high desert to the infamous Boat Junkyard. I will start off by saying I am not sure if this place still exists or not as this was filmed last in 2020 and there was talk that they would have to move.
I have had a number of friends who had visited this place and I was passed a phone number and name. There is no website for this junk yard, no email address, just word of mouth it seems. It is wonderfully dangerous and enter at your own risk. Something I think the world needs more of.
Basically they are hired to haul off doomed or abandoned boats, mostly sailboats, then they break the keels off and sell the ballast to a recycler and take a few parts off and sell them to local shops and possibly online. There are ENDLESS amounts of good parts still sitting on these boats.
I was told there is a $200 minimum to even be allowed to pull parts off of boats. I was very happy with what we ended up paying for the parts we got.

Sailing Triteia
My name is James and I have recently untied the lines for good and set off to start a slow circumnavigation of this big beautiful world. After 4+ years of refitting my 1965 Alberg 30 she is finally ready for some serious sailing. In 2021 I completed my first solo ocean crossing from Los Angeles to Hawaii traveling 2300 nm and will be heading south in the summer of 2022, bound for the South Pacific.
