Raingutter Regatta

Sailing for the finish line

Sailing on a summer day... Cub Style !

Cubs race by two's. Two side by side raingutters are filled with water to make the racetrack. On the count of three, the cubs start blowing on their sails to propel their boat. Careful, blow too hard and your ship tips over !

The Triple Elimination race design decides the winner. Prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3d Place. Awards for Craftsmanship, Best Design and Most Unique.


Warning: #1
Sometimes the water gets a little colored from watercolor paint that dissolves during the race.
Warning: #2 Some boats may be a little sticky from being painted hours before !
Warning: #3 This is waaaay too much fun !
