Construction Rules:
*The entire boat must be built of cardboard.

*Caulking compounds such as silicon, tar, wax or other similar waterproofing material may NOT be used.

*Metal or plastic staples, clamps, nails, screws, etc. may NOT be used.

*The propulsion system may only be oars & paddles. No peddle, motor power or help from anyone outside of boat crew may be used.

*If there is any doubt in construction, the judges reserve the right to verify that only cardboard has been used.  Construction violations discovered at any point in the day shall be cause for disqualification.

Race Rules & Procedures:
*No one under the age of 11 yrs. old is allowed to participate unless his/her parent/guardian is present; minimum age is 4 yrs. of age.

*All crew members will be required to sign a liability release form on race day. Parents or guardians will need to sign for those under the age of 18.

*Every participant must wear Coast Guard approved life preservers & sneakers or water shoes.

On Race Day:
*Check-in at the west end of the beach. It is your responsibility to protect your boat.

*At check-in, all boats will be assigned a number which must be attached to each side of the boat.

*Crew members who fall into the water should give a “thumbs-up” to signal that they are okay.

Clean Up/Debris Disposal:
In previous years, there was an entry fee of $10.00 refundable deposit upon disposal of boat. This year, there will be NO deposit required. We trust that each boat crew will remove their cardboard, decorations & boat related materials from the water & grounds. A roll-off dumpster will be near the parking lot for disposal.

Judging Categories:
A time trial will consist of each boat racing against the clock and 1st place wins a $20 CDC Gift Card for the best time of the day! Additional prizes will be awarded to the following categories:

*Best Original Design/Theme/Uniqueness

*Most Spectacular Sinking         

*Last Boat to Float 

After timed races, a water war with all remaining floatable boats will battle to the end.
