Thank You for Supporting Our Mission With Your Donation Below

Off Center Harbor has been a community-created movement from the outset. The moment we refused to accept advertising, we bet our future the belief that there was a hunger out there among this community for the unvarnished truth.

By bringing everyone up-close to the masters of our day to get one-on-one video instruction on exactly how they design, build, maintain and use the finest boats in the world . . . we thought the classic boating community might jump aboard to help us build and grow this endeavor.  And you have, big time.

Then decided to bring members aboard the finest classic boats around the world, with close-up conversations with the boat’s owners, and you’ve helped us do just that with your support.

Our Mission:

Off Center Harbor and its members are creating a gathering place that connects the entire world of classic/wooden boats, helping it grow and thrive for generations to come.

Our Accomplishments Together in the First 10 Years:

  • Created the Off Center Harbor website that has inspired and instructed thousands of people
  • Created the largest worldwide digital network of any organization within the field
  • Produced over 600 videos, including five complete A-to-Z boatbuilding courses
  • Traveled to other lands that are rich in maritime history to record their boats and cultures
  • Created the Worldwide Classic Boat Show to bring the entire world of classic boats together
  • Created plans and kits for two exceptional boats that are now being built in 10 countries
  • We’ve only just begun, and we’re using this moment
  • Maximize the ____now and pass it on
  • Losing a lot of masters each year.  It’s a race to share their knowledge …

Where We’re Headed Over The Next Ten Years:

Leverage the momentum we’ve all built from the first ten years to bringing the thousands of organizations and people together.  Knowledge is passed down through stories and showing skills… ensuring that history continues.

Valuable resource, building the hub to a worldwide network for connecting us all . . .

We could tell you what’s on our drawing boards for the next 10 years, but that would be lying.  While we do have plans for some exciting things listed on our white board, the bigger truth is that we work hard to stay lean and nimble so we can go with the flow and chase great things when we see them sail by. Being member-supported, rather than advertising-driven, makes all this possible.
