Classic Yacht Foundation Preserving the Heritage of American Yachting
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: The Classic Yacht Foundation is a non-profit corporation, with the primary focus of the restoration and preservation of classic wooden yachts, that are significant to the heritage of American yachting. The Classic Yacht Foundation accomplishes this in a number of ways: The Classic Yacht Foundation obtains yachts in need of restoration, and completes the needed work with the help of CYF staff, volunteers, and paid professionals. The restored yachts are then sold, financing the purchase and restoration of additional yachts. Additionally, the Classic Yacht Foundation provides Consulting services to individuals who want to have a yacht restored. The Classic Yacht Foundation also lists yachts for sale by owners, and publishes books from select authors. All too often, wooden boats have been abandoned, and are either left to deteriorate, or are destroyed because of the lack of interest or money by the owner. At the same time, individuals that might otherwise want to restore these or other boats are unaware of where they are located, the significance of the boat, or the condition of the boat. Further, far too many individuals that may be interested in obtaining a wooden boat for restoration discard the idea because of not knowing what resources are available, the true condition of the boat, the total cost of the restoration, how long or where the restoration can take place, and the resale value of the restored boat. The Classic Yacht Foundation has extensive knowledge and experience providing the Consulting service to both locate wooden boats sought by a prospective buyer, and to provide all of the resource information, and costs to the prospective buyer, wanting a boat restored. Once the restoration project has begun, the Classic Yacht Foundation is also available on a Consulting basis to manage the project on behalf of the owner, to assure the desired result.
