BOAT BUILDING RULES & GUIDELINES
WAIVER FORM - all participants must sign a waiver. NO exceptions.
With one of our goals being marine preservation, the name Castaway Challenge fits with SEAS and the tradition of building a boat that just may sink. Although you are not being marooned on a desert island, you may have to be saved. We've reviewed the guidelines and made a few changes that will hopefully spark your competitiveness and boat building adventure.
In addition to the list of traditional materials provided but recycled vs buying new, you are encouraged to find other recyclable materials to use.
If you make it past the first buoy, you will be allowed to swim to the finish, but your whole crew and your boat must make it across the finish line.
See Rules & Guidelines for all the details.
Challenge your friends and co-workers to build as well. A little friendly competition is great!
