Cardboard Boat Regatta 2009
The 15th annual Cardboard Boat Regatta was held in Four Freedoms' park on Saturday April 25th. You can read more about the event at their website here. In addition to lots of events before and after, it was about 4 hours of races of all cardboard boats that ranged from amazingly effective and fast, to just plain amazing they floated (and a few did not).
We anchored off shore and had a good view of the starting line, and I captured these images. Please feel free to comment.

on May 7, 2009Hey Linwood, I was the Rotary Club Chairman of the event and would like to thank you for sharing this wonderful site with the public. Having all these great photos available to the public was very considerate of you. We tried to bring this free and fun event to as many people as possible to enjoy and having people like you contribute to the great memories is the icing on the cake. We will be back next year bigger and better and I hope to see you there too.

on May 6, 2009Hey this is Zachary. I was the kid who was racing in the red boat that was supposed to be a car. It was hard work having to paddle those boat i was tired afterwards. My sister enjoyed especially since we went against bat man. That race was unexpected as we were supposed to go against another boat but they didn't get there in time. Last year we were the predators and it was fun. Hope you guys come out to next years race.
