Let’s build a gig.
Nothing teaches seamanship or unifies a team quite like a Bantry Bay gig.
Learn more about our exciting new project below.
Graham has purchased most of the cedar planking material, and the fundraising is 85% complete. Our Apprentices will have a chance to get their hands on this build, our staff is able and ready.
After the boat is complete, Lowell’s plans to deliver the boat via an adventure on water, and then this new Bantry Bay gig will carry teams of young adults on amazing adventures for many years to come.
What it’s all about.
Watch this video to see how Atlantic Challenge started, and why it makes so much sense for Lowell’s to collaborate with this highly successful non-profit that gets young adults on the water to learn sailing, rowing, seamanship, and so much more. Our missions are aligned, and now, they’re entwined.
Giving to the fund for this gig ensures the success of the build at Lowell’s. We’ve been contracted to construct the boat, which will hopefully start Summer 2025.
Here’s the plan.
Graham rolls the boat plans out on the bench and explains how the boat shop will accommodate such a long boat. It’s a special set of challenges—we can’t wait to get to started.
There’s a reason Atlantic Challenge came to Lowell’s Boat Shop for this work. Your support over the years and our subsequent reputation for well built boats has made us one of the go-to places for traditional boatbuilding. Our Shop is the right one for the job.
