Garrett won second place in his first race
with an innovative 'hydroplane' design we found on-line.
His was the only boat without a mast or keel or rudder -
he named it speed.
All the boats together - the winning boat is on the bottom of the photo - the silver catamaran.
Getting the straws just right. He won this race.
Ready, SET, BLOW!!!!
This is the second race, he one this too. He lost the next race, then won twice more before losing in the last race to the winner - the silver catamaran.
Lots of fun and a great showing for a first try!!! Yea Garrett!!
We have some ideas for improving the hydroplane design - the sail should have been all the way back, and a keel in the rear would have helped too, or we could try a catamaran design ourselves.
So next year - watch out first place!
