Send your boat to school!
Sail Charlevoix welcomes tax-deductible boat and/or equipment donations of good working order. We will evaluate each boat's utility to the program and some may be sold to help support our sailing programs, funding scholarships, fleet improvements and other capital needs. Large boats should have a trailer. We require a title and or registration; same for the trailer. Please sign the back of the title - without designating a new owner. Upon sale of the boat, you will receive formal receipt for tax purposes.
This Sonar has some structural concerns with its keel, but has been sailed in its current state for several years. This would be a great boat for someone looking for spare parts or proceeding with caution to get it back on the water. Cradle included. The furler also needs to be replaced.
This 1970 Highlander 20 has been well maintained and was used by our program as a learning boat for a couple seasons. It is a great starter sailboat for a family.
This 2016 Escape Rumba is a fun little beach boat. This boat has been lightly used and the sail is in excellent shape. The hull is roto-molded plastic, making it very durable. It is big enough for two adults to sail comfortably. The boat features a furling sail that makes reefing very easy.
PRICE REDUCED! This 2001 Hunter 212 can be day sailed or even serve as a cozy pocket cruiser that is easily trailered. This could be a starter boat for a small family. The boat could use a good cleaning. Trailer included.
This 1990 Wellcraft 17 Sport is mechanically sound and had a new stereo system installed a few years ago. The upholstery is in poor shape, but with a little TLC this will be a great boat and a way to get out on the water, on a budget. The trailer is in excellent shape.
This 2008 Com-Pac Picnic Cat features the Mastendr™ Quick Rig Sailing System. This allows the user to raise the mast and have the sail up in the same amount of time it takes to get a power boat in the water, cranked up and away from the dock. The boom, sail, and gaff all stay on the mast stub even when the mast is down. The side stays are always in proper adjustment. Once the headstay is attached and locked down with the lever handle, the rig comes into the tension that has been previously set. On the road, the mast, gaff and boom stow securely on the boom gallows, assuring worry-free trailering. Unlike a sloop, her mast, because it steps in the bow of the boat, does not extend beyond the end of the boat when folded horizontal. In the water, here stability comes from a broad hull form and low– center-of-gravity gaff rigged sail plan. This boat is well equipped with teak cockpit flooring and accents, boarding ladder, anchor roller with deck pipe, newer sail cover, trolling motor, twin batteries and on-board charger.
This 1981 Spindrift Rascal 14 is a great starter boat for 2-3 sailors. This boat was stored indoors for many years and is still in great shape for its age. Over 3000 Rascals were build, dating back to 1961.
