very clever "bottom supports". have not seen the like before.

nice overall design and construction. I'd watch the transom drag.
did you plot the panels from Carlson's Hulls program co-ordinates?

interesting start. some evidence of weakness in lateral and directional
stability in some designs. :)

good of the organizers to provide foam slabs to sit on and equal propulsion
(identical kayak paddles). too bad the supply of duct tape was limited.
not much a person can't do with an unlimited supply of duct tape.

looks like an interesting and entertaining event.

Thanks. I was looking for a form fitting corrigation effect.

Yes.

Yeah, like I said. I made it farther than almost all the other first
timers. Not that I made it as far as I wanted.

No foam pads to sit on. Life jackets and paddles only.

unlimited duct tape wouldhave been better IMHO...

It was. Fun for all!!

They backed a trash truck up to the lanch / finish line. you had to
go out, around a bouy, and then back. Most boats never made it to the
bouy.

thanks for the look and help!!

my mistake, that rectangular block on the bottom of the boat looked like a
piece of rigid foam.

Cardboard, doubled up.
