BOAT RACE RULES
The cardboard boat race has historically been the highlight of our annual BBQ, with categories for youngsters and oldsters alike. All rules apply to all categories, and the “judge’s” interpretation is final.
“May the weakest boat sink; may the strongest boat win; may we all enter and have fun. The more boats, the merrier!”
Races will begin around 1:30 pm, Saturday July 7, Stanford Sierra Camp’s Baby Beach
Cardboard boat inspection will begin at 1pm. The races will be governed by the FLL version of the Marquis of Queensbury Rules. Good sports and gentle persons are encouraged to participate.
