Do you only get one roll of duct tape?
how much cardboard can you use?
what other materials can you use?
what can you bring with you on the boat?
Are you allowed to paint it? or do anything to the carboard?
Do the rules allow you to add anything,poles, bottles, milk cartons?
whats the total distance to the buoy and back?
how many people will it need to support and the weight?
any glue allowed?
All the cardboard you can salvage out of the pile. They provide one roll of duct tape, and that's the ONLY thing you can use to stick it together. It has to carry two people. One paddle is provided. You have about one hour to build the boat with the cardboard and the duct tape. I don't know how far it is to the buoy and back to shore, but I'm sure it probably is less than a hundred yards.
All is irrelevant now, because our team has abandoned the cardboard event. They took their cats out sailing and decided that was more fun. Dave and Leah on their Nacra 6.0, Chip and Barb on their Nacra 20, and Rick on his Taipan 4.9.
Thank you all for your input on cardboard boat building. I am going to save it for future reference. Maybe we can do an event like that at one of our regattas if we have an off day.
