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 pretreated 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.
