It is your lucky day Mike. I would be willing to help transport this vessel to its new homeport in Chicago. I currently own a 34-foot sloop (kept in Waukegan) and hold a USCG 50-ton Masters License with auxiliary sail and towing endorsements. You mention cost as a consideration, the best never comes cheap, besides by paying me you save the costs of rigging and overland transportation. Regardless what any transporter tells you, trucking a boat, even short distances is harder on it than sailing it in the worst conditions.
