What started as a back yard party on the inner harbor 13 years ago has evolved into a town-wide hilarious community event where adults and kids 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. The race takes place at the boat launch behind town hall. There will be plenty of safety PSDs (adult and kids sizes) and paddles. A safety kayaker will be on the course in case anyone needs assistance as will the Harbormaster.
The regatta is broken down into 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!
