The challenge – re-cycling
To make a wind-driven boat out of re-cycled materials that can sail across the Crowborough pond.
Rules
The boat must not be more than 2 feet in length (610mm)
All parts must be taken from previously existing objects other than a boat
Wood can be used but it must have been part of another object - not just previously a tree!
However, unused nails, screws, glues, thread, string, sticky tape and paint are allowed
The event
The event is open to everyone – not just boat club members
The event will be run on Sunday May 17th 2026 from 2:00PM
The competition
Boats will be judged winners for:
1. Winning the boat races across the pond
2. Being judged the most inventive
Examples:
There are examples of bottle boats on youtube
Like all our competitions it is not intended to be fun and definitely not taken too seriously!
