PHOTOS, VIDEO: Cardboard Boats Float — or Not — in Port Harbor
The Port Washington Maritime Heritage Festival involved two races this year: a build-ahead and build-it-that-day competition. Find out the winners and flip through these photos to see who sinks and who floats.
The build-ahead cardboard boat race took place Saturday afternoon, with nine boats: eight in the multi-adult category, and one multi-youth boat.
Here are the awards for that race:
- Fastest adult winner: II, time 1:57.4
- Fastest youth winner: Shark Bait, time 2:11.5
- Engineering award: Red Fusion, Capt. Glenn Walters
- Vogue Award: Solo, Capt. Jean Gruen
- Team Spirit: Splittoon, Capt. Maggie Brady
- Titanic Award: Port Washington Yacht Club, Capt. Dennis Walters
On Sunday, there were four groups of people that participated in the build-it-that-day race. Each team was given all the supplies to build the boat, and had from 11 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. to construct it, with the race at 2 p.m.
Here are the awards for that race:
