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 several examples of bottle boats on youtube, but you can use anything you like as long as it is made from all recycled parts
Please note: below is an example pattern, but the boat must be made from recycled parts - not from the kit shown below
