This brand new Off Center Skiff is being launched today, and then auctioned off in a sealed-bid silent auction. She looks very well built (by a talented boat builder and local kids in Harpswell, Maine).
Bidding starts at $2,500, and the auction proceeds are going to a very worthwhile cause — keeping the working waterfront alive in a small Maine community.
Here’s how to bid (DEADLINE TO BID IS MONDAY THE 28TH AT NOON):
Email Anne Flannery at [email protected].
Here’s the information from the builder/seller about the boat, and the beneficiary of the auction proceeds:
Ann Flannery and the Harpswell Boatbuilders, youth ages 8-15 yrs. to launch an Off Center Skiff the “Salty Dawg”, Sunday, May 27th at 12:00 noon, at Holbrook’s Wharf in Cundy’s Harbor, Harpswell, Maine.
The boat will be sold to the highest bidder with bidding starting at $2500. All proceeds go to the Holbrook Community Foundation. Accepting bids by email up until noon on May 28th. Send bids to [email protected].

Bummer, I wish this was about 3500 miles closer
David Axelman says:
What was the final bid for the skiff?
Steve Stone says:
Hi David. It didn’t sell, as far as I know, so if you’re interested send Anne an email.
Rick Pratt says:
This has been a good fund raising method for us down here in Port Aransas Texas. Our local skiffs are always a popular auction item.
Good luck on the venture.
