Tacoma Maritime Fest August 27
The Quick & Dirty Boat Building is
a contest held at the Tacoma Maritime Fest. Ten to twelve 3-person teams are pitted against each other to build a boat out of a limited amount of materials in six hours. After that they must race the boat around a course set in Commencement Bay. There are lots of awards and the winning team gets their name on a trophy and their boat displayed for a year in the Maritime Museum. This year the bagpipers will return
to lead us down to the beach and we will of course have a new mystery material to supply you with. Also, just to make it more interesting, this year all three members of the team will need to be in the boat for the race. For more information contact Joe
Petrich at
jfpetrich@harbornet.com or
