Avast, me hearties! Down yer tankards and join us, for the
Armada is about
to set sail. Kiss yer lover and spouse farewell, both;
promise them booty if
ye must but be here July 2 – 4, with yer letter of marque or
no. Aye, there
will be hand-to-hand combat on land and a-sea (trans.: heavy
and rapier
fighting, likely boat, plank, and tavern battles: mutiny?
“Take on the
Capt.”? “salvage crew”?-), and archery. Vessels will be
challenged in looks
and in sailing (floating!) skills.

Arrrrgh! {cough, cough… ahem…} Please come join us!

Contests
Boat Contest and Boat
Race
Rules for making the Boats:
Boats may be constructed out of any materials; remember, they
must float!
The boats do not need to be to scale, but should be 12″ to
18″ in length.
Boats must be of a period design. The race will be run in
heats; the winner
of each heat will advance to the finals. Boats are not to be
powered by any
means other than sail. Boat owners are responsible for the
retrieval and
removal of their own boat. The contest is open to all
ages.
Prizes will be awarded for:
– the best documentation
– the best-looking boat
– the overall winner of the race
WARNING – fast moving river: mind your children!!! Bring swim
clothes – or
not, as you choose – so you can launch your
boat.
