Ah.. the plot thickens. I asked the lady in charge how long the
plastic is. She then asked me why? how big of a boat are you
biulding? I said "Probably 12-14 feet long" She smirked. "You know
the cardboard is only 8 feet long, right?"

plastic can be taped too, not just cardboard.

what's really important is how much duct tape you get. with enough duct
tape you can cover the whole boat and forget about the plastic. they
should give you a complete list of material in the contest rules.

if you have to double up on the cardboard there is a one sheet boat on my
website with a 7.75 ft waterline called the Loonie.
