7th Annual Cardboard Boat Regatta

 

The Sanctuary was a full house, as many gathered to witness the 7th Annual Cardboard Boat Rigatta.

Each boat was unique in it’s own way, from it’s name to the inspiration behind it’s construction

Many would race, but in the end only a few would take home the prize. A determined single sailor, two kids that meant business, and a boat that successfully fit 16 people, were some of the highlights

The final race featured the winner from each class…and they went out with a bang…literally!

It was an intense race! Some sank and others survived,  but now the final results are in.

Here are the award results for the 7th annual Thunder Bay Cardboard Boat Regatta!
