They are thinking of doing it again next year. A number of teams each designed and built their vessel and then one member had to paddle it in a race out and round the end of a jetty and back to shore. A couple of sheets of corrigated cardboard and miles of wrapping tape (sticky), scissors and craft knives (box cutters), a few felt-tip pens and a bit of arm waving. The winning team made qite a few tightly rolled beams and stuck them in strategic places.
