And we have a... WINNER!

Adam participated for the second year at the Cub Scout Rain-gutter Regatta. Last year, we assemble the kit that was provided and following the instructions on the box... not knowing that one could upgrade the boat to improve its speed... Needless to say that Adam's boat did not so well.

So this year, we watched YouTube videos on how to make changes on the boat and how to blow to win the competition... Mark and Adam's work was successful since Adam came #1!!


A little review of the event:
 Last minute repair as one of the gutters was too narrow for the trimaran boats this year.

First few rounds of competition:

  
Final rounds: pretty close between Adam and Will...

Second part of the competition: the Show 
Shawn's boat - the Shark - won first place

On the way home, Mark was explaining to Adam that his blowing technique was what took him to first place as some other boats were pretty well made too. Adam ended up making this conclusion: "A good ship needs a good captain!"
