We at Sail Sand Point, www.sailsandpoint.org, are a 501(c)3 non-profit. When we receive a donated boat, our Executive Director sends a letter to the donor that thanks them for the donated boat. If the boat is not going to be used in our program, we advise the donor, and let them know the price we receive when the boat is sold. The donor can then use this figure on their tax deduction. When we are going to use the boat in our programs, we so advise the donor, and it is up to them to determine the value of the boat. This is in accord with the current IRS rules.

So far we have received six Hobie 16's, one Hobie 14, and five Hobie Waves,one used,three new from local Hobie Sailors and other supporting organizations and one new with funds from sale of donated boats not used in our program. The four new Waves, were passed through by our local Hobie Dealer, Hobie Cats Northwest at their cost. BTW, Hobie Cats Northwest has now relocated to Magnuson Park, Seattle, in the same building as Sail Sand Point.
