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.
I watched their attempt to use duct tape to patch a hole from under

Half-assed worked.
A special adhesive formulation that sticks better - to put in the
emergency kit - would probably sell to boaters.
