This new organization is a non-profit organization whose mission is the advancement of sailing, boating and education in marine sciences and mathematics by minimizing economic and physical obstacles. It will further develop independence, self-confidence, teamwork and volunteerism in the
participants. Shipyard Community Sailing and Science Center ( SCSSC ) is a community service organization that will promote, teach and facilitate the enjoyment of sailing and boating in the Mid-Coast Maine Region.Specific programs will incorporate the marine sciences in educating participants in seamanship,
boat handling, aquatic sports and providing competitive and recreational sailing opportunities.
The ownership of Boothbay Harbor Shipyard, is hosting and supporting this project. It is dedicated to helping Boothbay Harbor be one of the premier boating harbors and destinations in Maine. It is expected that their commitment to providing a community sailing center will have a positive economic impact on Mid-Coast Maine.
Two fun and eventful fundraisers were held this summer to raise funds for the SCSSC. The Boothbay Harbor Rendezvous was held on August 10th to support the SCSSC. Sailors in classic wooden yachts, and cruising, racing boats raced, feasted and celebrated with us at this exciting event, while participating in this fundraiser. The other fundraiser was the Nautical Auction. A huge assortment of historical nautical items were auctioned off, along with a silent auction of smaller nautical items.
Please join us in this endeavor.
