Boats to buy, commission or donate

Fine vessels direct to you

Tuition only covers part of the cost of our diverse curriculum. We also rely on proceeds from the sale of School built and donated vessels to maintain our diverse programs and devotion to craftsmanship.

School built boats

Our classes build more than a dozen boats of varied sizes and design each year. They are chosen from our preferred designs to fit each course requirement and can be commissioned in advance, purchased while under construction or selected from our existing inventory. We also consider custom commissions on a case by case basis.

Donations

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization donations to NWSWB may be tax deductible. Donations may be used in our repair and restoration program or as a fundraising tool.

Repair and restoration

We are looking for wooden boats in reasonable condition but in need of some structural and/or cosmetic work. Under the new (2005) tax rules we may be in a unique position to help you maximize your tax advantage. Please see Donations for complete details.

Fundraising

Boats of any size or type in saleable condition will be considered. These craft should require only minor repair or cosmetic work. Proceeds from these sales go directly to the support of our operations and campus development.
