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.

Worked fine till it melted.. They even got it up on plane iirc...

Yeah, they tried to re-freeze the hull with a fire extinguisher.
