What is The Wooden Boat Rescue Foundation?
The Wooden Boat Rescue Foundation is dedicated to
placement, saving, locating, researching, wishing, learning and dreaming of
wooden boats. All boats are free.
Wooden Boats beyond a certain
point of condition and/or age are becoming rare. After years without
proper care, they are sawn up, burned, or buried. It is our hope that
this site can centralize connections between current owners
placing boats with people searching for boats.
The Wooden Boat Rescue
Foundation's website is not meant to impress or wow, but only to be
pragmatic.
Help needed: we desperately
need indoor storage for boats in transit. We do not store boat
here. We need boat builders
and yards to volunteer time or reduce rates for moving or working on these
boats. We are also in need of people making an effort to save that
"old Boat down the street or in the barn" in their local areas.
We hope to start the wooden boat repair workshops
this fall...let us know your
ideas---see Wooden Boat Repair
classes above.
The Wooden Boat Rescue Foundation does not gather
boats, store them, or transport them, but rather acts as a go-between.
We strive to get parties in contact with each other and we do not take boats
onto the grounds. All boats remain with the owners or yards and
are their property not ours.
We are presently filling for 501c3 status. All
support given must be considered a gift and not tax deductible as a 501c3
yet.
