Our assignment is to create a boat made out of solely milk cartons and
duc tape. With unlimited amounts of only these two supplies, the boat
must be able to float 50 yds of a awimming pool. Now the hard part is
that someone has to maneuver the boat, meaning that it must float
carrying at least 125 lbs. Are there any suggestions as to how many
cartons would be roughly needed to hold up a person and stay afloat at
the same time? Also, any suggestions to the shape of the boat which
would maintain the most bouyany? Thanks!



This is, without doubt, the best post that has been in rec.boats for over a
year! Thanks for the grins.
