As you may know, our first boat "Two Wrights" hasn't been doing too well. She was in need of some parts that are not too easy to find given that she was built in 1971. As much as we loved Two Wrights and wanted her to live on, we decided it was best to let her go. We initially posted a for sale add on Craigslist, hoping someone looking for a classic boat project would sweep her up. After a few months and no bites we looked into donating her. We spoke to a few different companies and settled on Kars 4 Kids . (You may be familiar with their commercial jingle.) They came and picked her and her trailer up and now they'll get her ready to be auctioned off. By donating we get a $500 tax write off. They then sell her at an auction. If the sale price is greater than $500 we can write off the final sale amount. The money earned then goes to the charity. This is the standard operation of all these donation companies. Sail Away ...
