Card boardboat race.
My shop teacher was saying something about a cardboard boat race on the
California river in July. A friend I want to enter but a google search; "California river" "cardboard boat" only returns 2 results, neither has any usefull information. Can anybody tell me more about this contest? and if not, are there any other cardboard boat competitions in southern California? |

A few threads toward the beginning of this month, with subjects "Cardboard boat results" "Cardboard pics" and the like... just use "cardboard" as your search keyword. Some of the posts were binary posts (in error) to a text-only newsgroup; your news server's mileage may vary (i.e. you might not see them at all.) But the other threads should pop up. -- frosty |

Opps. again, sorry about that Binary stuff. Anyway, here is a link to the pictures of the boat race I ran in on labor day weekend. http://tinyurl.com/94gaj This contest was a bit differant than some of them I've seen on the web. there was no paint allowed, and you had to build it there. they gave us two sheets of cardboard 8ft by 5ft and a sheet of plastic for waterproofing that was about 10 x 10. they also gave us one roll of duct tape. no other supplies were allowed, save markers for decoration. My boat did not do well. It was too narrow to be stable, and not strong enough. it folded up around me. oops.. Good learning, and hope to do better next year! email: dave-afo at mchsi dot com please respond in this NG so others can share your wisdom as well! |
