Boat Donations
People donate boats to the Cowichan Wooden Boat Society for a variety of reasons:
To receive a tax credit
To avoid the hassles of selling a boat
To avoid the ongoing cost of moorage
To avoid the time and cost involved in ongoing upkeep and repair of the vessel
What boats are suitable?
Sail or power, large or small, fibreglass, wood or steel. “Project boats” are generally not financially viable. As a rule of thumb, a boat must be capable of being moved by road or sea and its value must substantially exceed the cost of delivery.
Do you have a boat that you can no longer maintain and want to find a good home for it?
How does your donation help?
Monies go back into funding for children’s spring, summer and pro d-day camps / adult traditional boat building courses / keeping our shop and tools up to date for members to use for projects etc
The Cowichan Wooden Boat Society is a non-profit organization that survives on donations of cash and in-kind to be used for operating costs. Boat donations are a significant source of revenue for the Society.
