30 Years of Urban Boatbuilders
30 Hour Boat Build
To officially kick off Urban Boatbuilders’ 30th anniversary, we are hand building an Urban Traveler Canoe in only 30 hours to raise $30,000! We invite you to support and watch the boat build in person or via livestream as alumni, founders, board members, and current apprentices build a boat together over 2 days. The finished canoe will be raffled off at Untapped Potential. We will wrap up the boat build with a celebration at the shop, so please join us!
