2025 Restore an Old Sailboat Contest

December 2, 2024 by Heidi Benson Stagg
Summer Sailstice 2025

Entries accepted between March 01, 2025 and June 30, 2025.

The Restore an Old Sailboat Contest had an amazing amount of entries in 2024 and we can't wait to see your projects and the results of your hard work in 2025. Hundreds of old sailboats are lying in wait, or are already undergoing loving restorations. It doesn't need to be a designer or showcase vessel! We're looking for sad, old boats that have found a new life through restoration TLC. 

How does it work?

Send in your photos* before June 30th to enter! We'll announce the winner in July.

Any old sailboat will do: 'plastic classics', the 'Greatest Hits' of the 60s, 70s, and 80s ... any 'vintage' sailing boat or sailing tender that you're bringing back to life or have recently restored to its former glory totally counts!

*Bonus: do you have before and after pics? We love to see the progress pics :)
