SUNDAY, October 13th, 2019 Cardboard Boat Regatta
Registration starts at 11am. Race to start at 1pm
Manchester Inner Harbor - Boat launch behind Town Hall
This year is the 11th Annual Regatta.
What started as a back yard party on the inner harbor 11 years ago has evolved into a town-wide hilarious community event where kids and adults alike test their creativity and boat building skills (talk about a great family STEAM project!) to try to build a boat out of cardboard & duct tape that will take them out and around a buoy the fastest - ideally without sinking.
There is no charge to participate. All are welcome. We have plenty of safety PSDs (adult and kids sizes) and paddles. We have a safety kayaker on the course in case anyone needs assistance and we work with the Harbormaster.
We race in heats, 2 boats at a time. Heats are drawn just before the race and “posted”. Official timers will track the time. Fastest time wins.
But it’s not about having a FAST time, it’s about having a GOOD TIME!
