Rain gutter Regatta

Logan had to make a boat for the cub scouts annual rain gutter regatta. You buy the kit and basically just put it together and paint/decorate it.

Here's how his turned out. I think he did a great job drawing on the sail. His boat won "fastest". Unfortunately we forgot the camera at the actual event! :-( They race them in 2 actual gutters filled with water set up on saw horses side by side. They have to set them in the water, then blow on the sail to get them to the other end. Sounds easy, but most of them tipped over quite easily. Logan won most of his races. We had gone online and gotten some hints on making his boat more stable and faster. Apparently it worked!
