Inspired by their own recent experience, the Richard’s stumbled upon a new challenge boating up and down the Rideau this Spring.
In need of one themselves, and after looking at everything available in the market, they felt something was missing. Sure the fast moving current of the Rideau requires a well-built product with superior stability, but what about architectural design, use of skilled craftsmen and state-of-the-art materials?
They decided to raise the bar for docks and set to work on building something that could truly stand in its own right next to their award-winning builds and renovations. With engineering plans and 3D drawings in hand, a prototype for the first ever Urbano dock was presented for production to a gifted local artisan. Impeccably designed, most probably overengineered, complete with galvanized hardware including one ton anchors and closed cell (environmentally friendly) polyurethane, the first Urbano dock was launched in May 2023.
