BOAT BUILDING COMPETITION
PREPARE TO GET CREATIVE AND GET CRAFTING
A renowned and highly anticipated World Cruise tradition is our annual boat boat-building
a ‘Sea-Worthy’ boat. The boats must undergo specific trials and challenges to be crowned the Silver Shadow champion. You are invited to work alone or in teams.
The boat will be tested on overall creativity of design and presentation, ability to float un-assisted in the pool, and the amount of weight it can hold (the weights used will be 12oz. cans, so the ship needs to be designed to store those types of weights).
You may use any materials you can find around the ship to construct your boat, provided that you will not cause damage to any property of the Silver Shadow. We also want you to ‘create’ your ship, so no using of large materials such as life-jackets, trash cans, etc, and the total length of the ship can be no longer than 40 inches.
A table with materials available for you to use in your ship’s construction. These materials will only be available at the times listed in the Chronicles, so plan accordingly. Be as creative as you want in your presentation and design, and most importantly, HAVE FUN!
