2012 will be a special boat show, as you have probably heard, Challenged America is moving and by the show starts, Sunroad Marina will be our new home.

The show will be a unique opportunity to showcase our program, show and demonstrate our boats and our services to the disabled community.

We need volunteers to help at the booth, welcome visitors, explain and showcase our program

The show covers 4 days:

  • Thursday and Friday Jan 26/27 from noon to 6pm
  • Saturday and Sunday Jan 28/29 from 10am to 6pm

You don’t have to be there all day or everyday, let us know when you are available.  Please make sure that you will be there once you commit to a schedule.

We have an event set up in the Facebook Challenged America group where you can RSVP.

You don’t want to miss the Koehler Kraft San Diego Wooden Boat Festival

Tomorrow is the last day of the Koehler Kraft San Diego Wooden Boat Festival.  Over 80 classic boats are  on display, from wooden prams to kayaks to 80ft classic wood sail and motorboats are on display for your enjoyment, the owners eager to share the history and stories bout their work of love.

Some are pure chef d’oeuvres of craftsmanship, like the kayak displayed behind the Challenged America booth.  That wood kayak is so beautiful with its shiny inlaid wood, I swear, it belongs in an art gallery.

if you are looking for bargains, Challenged America has a booth selling donated items, mostly boat related, from used sails to brass fittings to boat heads at great prices.

Children will have a great time, between the steam boat tours, the activity tent and the amazing boats on display.

A big thank you to the Koehler family and Koehler Kraft for organizing this great event for the 21st year

Each Father’s Day Weekend wooden boat owners display their craft at The San Diego Wooden Boat Festival. More than 80 wooden craft, ranging from row boats to regal schooners were on hand for viewing by the public last year. We will have great live music, food and activities for children.

Do you have a wooden boat?
Stop by the yard office or send us an email if you would like to be part of the festival!
