General information

Participants can enter as either individuals or teams (there are FOUR different classes — find the one that suits you best below). Your watercraft can only be constructed using TWO items: duct tape and cardboard. We encourage you to decorate it however you’d like and if you wish to paint it, please use LATEX paint only. Decorations cannot affect the structural strength or buoyancy.
