Teams Compete in Cardboard Regatta
Arlington, Texas — May 4, 2003
Brave souls in 86 boats tested the waters Saturday during
the 14th annual Cardboard Boat Regatta at Six Flags Hurricane
Harbor. The fund raiser benefits River Legacy Foundation programs.
Seven boats were built on-site for the regatta's newest competition.
Each team of builders was given pieces of cardboard, a piece
of plastic, duct tape, a straight-edge and a box cutter to
build a vessel in two hours.
The vessels in all categories had to make it once around
Hurricane Harbor's wave pool without sinking to win cardboard
trophies handcrafted by Pantego Christian Academy students.
