Location & launch times TBD.
Design it.
All design entries must be received at The Center for Wooden Boats no later than Friday, September 18. A panel of judges will select up to four designs for the contest. The criteria for selection will be sound design, originality, ingenuity and whimsy. The contestants will retain the boats. The plans will be available to view at the Festival and to purchase from the contestants.
Build It.
Submit designs ASAP. As soon as the race committee approves your design you can start building!
Please note that personal protective equipment (PPE) is required while using power tools, including eye and ear protection as necessary. PPE will not count towards tool weight and will be available to borrow. Any contestant may be required to put on PPE at any time during the contest at the discretion of a judge. Personal flotation devices are required during the on-the-water portion of the contest and will also be available to borrow.
All builds will be done at home. Use #CWBQuickandDaring and @CWBHeritage to share your progress!
Race It.
On Sunday, September 27, the resulting boats will race a triangular course, one leg to be rowed, one sailed, and one freestyle. If a boat does not complete the course, it will be disqualified. Location and launch times TBD.
