Armada Boat
Race:

2 categories: 

1. Shaped Boats  
2. Flat-bottomed Boats

Boats will be divided into heats, according to
number of entries, and run until a winner in each category has been
decided or left afloat.

Boats:

• may be constructed out of any materials
• may not be powered by any means other than sail
• must be between 12 and 18 inches in length
• may be constructed prior to event.  Must be constructed
  prior to launch of first scheduled heat.
• period-like design design preferred.  Obvious
  modern designed boats disallowed:  ie. no
  cruise ships.
• must float
• must sail unassisted from start to finish line – no
  helping!
• boat owners are responsible for launching and retrieval of
  their own boat.
• all ages compete together.  Parents are responsible for
  safety of children.  River may be fast-flowing in places.
