Build a vessel OUT OF CARDBOARD capable of supporting at least one person to follow a 150-yard race course for two rounds. No this is not a model! This is an actual passenger carrying vessel!
The rules include:
- Corrugated cardboard ONLY! The use of wood, metal, plastic, foam, or fiberglass is strictly prohibited. No wax coated or pre-treated cardboard is allowed.
- Only bare, raw, brown, fibrous cardboard. Various tapes, adhesives and other accessories are allowed, but will be covered in greater detail later.
Structure:
-
Large sheets of cardboard – Old appliance boxes work great! Ask local stores for their old boxes.
Adhesive:
-
Duct tape
-
Masking tape
-
Waterproof Glue
Decoration:
- Latex house paint can decorate but also is a great sealant (oil based is not allowed in most sanctioned events because it can leave oil in the water) Look for cheap or returns!
- Cardboard tubes like wrapping paper tubes
All members of the boat are required to wear personal flotation devices.
