They built a wire frame sail boat out of duct tape. *Including the

Damn thing actually sailed pretty good. *:)

It's looked like the old Town Class racing series boat.

Looked like it sailed pretty well too.

That keel really looked flaky.

Yeah - that looked a little funky, but it seemed to work. *And it was
sailing in fairly choppy water.

I watched their attempt to use duct tape to patch a hole from under
water with some interest.
Half-assed worked.
A special adhesive formulation that sticks better - to put in the
emergency kit - would probably sell to boaters.

They went about it wrong - a patch isn't going to work.

Whipping up a ball and/or plug would have been perfect.

The last episode I watched was when they made an outboard boat out of
frozen paper machet.

that didn't work very well either.
