Hernando Beach Marina First Annual Cardboard Boat Race

The first annual cardboard boat race in Hernando Beach, Florida promises to be a fun event for the entire family!  Sponsored by Hernando Beach Marina, the contestants had to enter by July 30 to allow for plenty of time to construct their boats.

There are quite a few guidelines for the cardboard boat race , the most important one is that all boats have to be constructed entirely of cardboard - the only exception is duct tape but wood or metal is not allowed.  That includes screws, nuts, bolts, nails! 

On the day of the cardboard boat race, there will be food, vendors, and entertainment and of course, the race!  Registration for participants begins at 7 am and the race starts at 10 am.

It'll be fun to watch how those cardboard boats are holding up!  Trophies will be awarded in several categories and a special award, the "Titanic Award" will be presented for the most dramatic sinking!

Come on out and have some fun!

Ronald, I definitely plan on attending and hope to get some good pictures!

Jimmy, thanks, I'm sure it'll be a lot if fun!

Karen, I think I'd prefer to be in a vessel that doesn't sink for sure! I'm glad you enjoyed the boating video!

Sheila, I'm sure the organizers are hoping for a good turnout!

Silvia, We had one last week in Clarksville and they called it the Regatta. I got some great photos to share in the future. It took lots of work to build those boats to float.

I think the trick might be to coat the cardboard in wax... allowed?

Debbie, I'm curious to see what kind of designs and construction people will come up with for this race.

Fred, yes, waterproofing is allowed!  They want to make the race a little bit past the starting point!

Lisa, it's a first for our area.

Debbie, thank you, I think it will be.

Conrad, thanks!

Joe, I think people would enjoy it especially since it's something different.

Hi Richard, thank you for the tip, I've been taking more video lately and this occasion should be no different! 

John, when you can't fix it with a hammer, use duct tape!  :-)
