Enter A Boat & Crew
At the Cardboard Boat Regatta, teams are challenged
to design, build and navigate boats made entirely of
corrugated cardboard. The good news is, these boats
can be built by anyone -- from a group of eight-year-olds
to a group of professionals. If needed, we'll provide
you with a boat building class, a video, written instructions
and diagrams on how to build various boats, as well
as where to get the materials. Let's get started.

• Entrants must be 8 and older: age groups will race
in appropriate divisions

races.

Safety Precautions
• All boat occupants
must wear appropriately sizes,
properly fastened U.S. Coast
Guard-approved life jackets.
• The passenger area of the
boat must not be permanently
enclosed above the shoulders
of the occupants.
Each occupant
must be visible while the
boat is in the water.
Race Day Rules
• Each boat must have a designated
Captain. The Captain must
check in at the registration
arae on the day of the race
during the designated time
-- Youth: 4 -5 p.m., Adults

• Crew members must wear
their boat number over their
life jacket. The number must

all crew members in the boat
as it crosses the finish

• All races will be held
in the Wave Pool. The wave
machine will be turned off
until the finals. If no boat
survives the wave action
during the finals, the winners
will be based on the semi-final
results.
• Teams must retrieve their
boat, or its remains, from
the water.
