The Toledo Community Boathouses consist of the floating Andrew Linn Boatshop and a floating boathouse supporting a free boat livery every Thursday and Sunday afternoon in the warm months. The Retired Old Guys Sailing Club maintains the livery boats and handles getting people of all ages into the boats when the livery is open. They also use the boatshop for projects for other organizations in the community.

Hi Sandy, yes to that question! I had the pleasure of meeting Dick & Colleen back in the mid-70’s. The pleasure included attending one of their first organizing meetings for the Center in their comfortable living room, in their floating home. What a pleasure! As a stranger from San Diego, I never really felt that way with the Wagners. Over time, the pleasure just kept getting better, as I was able to sail a few of the many boats of theirs that were to be used at the Center. One of the few challenges of sailing on Lake Union was to avoid the float plane landing “strip”! The memories of sailing one of Dick’s Norwegian Rana’s is difficult to beat… really, does it get any better? Thank you to Colleen & Dick’s foresight!
Hi Keith sorry I missed your comment I’m just seeing it now. I love that you were there for the very first time! The stories we always hear are so heartwarming. The Wagners were truly such special people. I never got to meet Dick since he passed right before I started working at CWB, but I got to work with Colleen and so grateful for everything I learned from her.
The float planes issue is still ongoing but always a fun challenge.
I love this so much! Are you guys familiar with The Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle?
We are – several of our members have gone there multiple times through the years.
Lovely! It always has such a special place in my heart. The Toledo Boathouses sound very similar, would love to visit sometime.
