The Challenge: Construct a boat from the contents of the bucket (e.g., tin foil, rubber glove, lead weights, coat hanger, balloon, 6-pack (root beer for the kids competition)).
Step 1: Puncture and drain the hull material. Full cans are not fast.
Steps 2-2+n: Design and construct your hull and rig. We agreed on a trimaran with canted pontoons to increase stability, minimize drag, and hopefully, prevent pitch poling.
Step 3+n: Seal the holes. The bucket offers birthday candles, a blue crayon, and electrical tape for this critical task.
The maiden voyage: She floats and sails in light breeze, but the trial is necessarily limited due to the lack of running lights.
