Donation of Boat?

Question

Our venturer unit wants to restore a boat, but don't want to spend much money (on the body). Does anyone in NSW have a boat that could be donated to a venturer(scout) unit?? Otherwise, does anyone know where we can find a cheapish boat.

Cheers

Answer 1

Why don't you consider building a boat or several small ones.  Glen L, of the US, http://www.glen-l.com/ has been selling full size plans since 1953.  

If you are working with teenagers I would suggest building some sculls.  perhaps you can get local sponsors for each boat.  They would be good for water skills and confidence skills.

The plans include many types and sizes, so take your time to browse.

Good Luck with sponsorships.
