The event is organized into teams and each team is supplied the same materials and tools. Each team is allowed ten members and construction time from start to finish is just two hours. Race planning and tactics are allowed one hour and the race follows immediately on a triangle course. The race has been held for the past eleven years and design technology improves each year. The number of boats that actually float has increased greatly and the percentage of finishers is truly impressive.
Photo opportunities abound.
