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 1984 Freedom 29 was designed by Garry Hoyt and built by Tillotson Pearson and is designed to be a simple boat to sail with the signature Freedom un-stayed mast and a gun-mount spinnaker that jibes with ease. Cradle included
Renowned for its deep-V hull and legendary handling, this 1986 Donzi 24 delivers a smooth, dry ride in a wide range of conditions. Whether you're slicing through open water or cruising the coast, this 24-footer combines vintage muscle-boat aesthetics with the craftsmanship that made Donzi a household name in high-performance boating. Maintained by Irish Boat Shop for decades, this boat also comes with extensive service records. Powered by a MerCruiser 300 Tempest with 863 hours on it. This is a turnkey boat for getting on the water.
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 1961 Flying Scot 19 was owned and used by the same family for several decades. It is ready to hit the water, though could use some TLC. Recent trailer work was completed by the donor. This is a great platform for learning to sail and is the same model as we use for our adult lessons. Sails and trailer included.
This 1986 Vanguard Laser II is a fast and fun version of a standard Laser with a Jib for even more speed and performance.
This 1988 Catalina Capri 14.2 is a great, easy-to-sail daysailer. Stability and easy handling make the 14.2 an ideal boat to learn in, while the experienced skipper will enjoy the active one design racing class. The Centerboard configuration is easily retracted and makes trailer launching simple. Trailer included.
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.
This mooring system is ready to go and should be sufficient for many small boats 17-20' in more exposed environments. Capable of more in less exposed areas. Previously held a 23' Sonar with a large exposure to the south on Lake Charlevoix. Mooring ball, heavy chain, and pennant included.
These windsurfers are in good shape and complete. The Mistal Maui is the newer and more tuned up of the 2 surfers, but both are complete packages. The price is for the pair. Willing to sell them individually, if interested, but offering this deal for the pair.
This ship's wheel would make an excellent decoration for any nautical theme.
This CQR plow anchor and double-braid rode are in good shape and new are about twice what this system is listed for. Estimated length of the rode is 100'.
