Ahoy, mates! This could be the sailing regatta of the century! Although the seas are only 10-foot lengths of raingutter filled with water, and the ships a mere 6 inches long, the race is a very exciting event.Each boy built his own boat with the supervision and help from family members. He also provided the wind for the sail with his own lung power. The boats raced in pairs on raingutter courses, propelled by the boys blowing into the sails with a drinking straw (quite the sight to see.)
The actual "race" was divided into age categories: Wolf, Bear and Webelos and each age group raced among themselves.
