Donate to the Wooden Boat Society

The Society relies heavily on corporate and individual support as well as memberships to keep our programs running and to maintain the wooden boat center. Please consider becoming a patron and keeping the history of wooden boats on the west coast alive. Those who make a donation greater than $50 will be recognized here on our Patron page with links to your business if applicable. You can also donate items that assist us in developing the wooden boat center further, such as hand tools, power tools, small wooden boats that we can sell or repair and sell. Email us via info@vancouverwoodenboat.com if you have something that you think we may benefit from.

Here is a list of items that we are in need of:

Hand Planes

15-20 inch Thickness planer
