THE GREAT CARDBOARD BOAT RACE

KUEHN POOL

ALL AGES

Ahoy sailors! Join the race to display your “ferry” impressive creations and see if they can stand the test of water! Boats constructed of corrugated cardboard and duct tape will be judged on creativity, seaworthiness, and the quickest to sink! No wood, Styrofoam, fiberglass, paint, or plastic. If “knot shore” about other materials that can be used to build your boat, ask us. Each vessel requires up to two participants. Life jackets will be provided and must be worn by contestants. Swimsuits and registration required.
