Mission Statement

The mission of the Boothbay Harbor One Design Association, is three fold:

1. Perpetuation of the classic fleets of boats of the Boothbay Region: the Boothbay Harbor One Design, Cove One Designs and the Hodgdon 21, Boothbay 20 and Christmas Great Lakes 21s.

2. Provision of sailing scholarship to children who might not otherwise learn to sail.

3. Furthering the traditions of sailing along the Maine Coast.

We foster the education and enjoyment of sailing and projects that support our mission by offering opportunities to children, sailors and non-sailors alike to share their common interest in all aspects of sailing and classic sailboats. We gather in the spirit of fellowship, adventure and love of sailing history to share our skills and experience. Our calendar includes socials, sailing events and races. We are a 501(c)3 Maine corporation.
