Joe -- Thanks for mentioning the boats for sale at The Center for Wooden Boats. Patrick Gould, the Center's boat donations person, has done a great job of turning that program into a good source of much needed revenue. Not on their site, but on Ebay, is another gem, a 45-foot William Garden pilothouse sloop. $10,000 of the sale goes to the Center.

Happy to oblige, Eric. Let me know if any other vessels go on sale to benefit CWB or another maritime heritage group.
