CALLING ALL BOAT BUILDERS - - -

IT'S TIME FOR THE
13TH ANNUAL SCHOONER WHARF MINIMAL REGATTA

Supplies are limited, but the creativity is endless at Schooner Wharf Bar on Sunday, May 30, 2004 for the 13th Annual Schooner Wharf Minimal Regatta.

Each 6 member team must build a boat seaworthy enough to stay afloat for the entire race course in the Key West Bight in front of Schooner Wharf. The catch---the boats are made of plywood, fasteners, duct tape, and 2' x 4's.

Minimal Regatta Construction Rules
1. One sheet of 4' x 8' x 1/4" plywood
2. Two 2" x 4" x 8'
3. One pound of fasteners
4. One roll of 2" x 60 yard duct tape
5. No caulking or adhesives - Epoxy paint is permitted
6. Painting of boats is optional

Construction kits can be bought at co-sponsor Manley de Boer on Simonton Street at a "minimal" price.

At least one member of the team must be at the helm of the little boat at all times during the race, and personal floatation devices are required for safety.

A shotgun start by Captain Morgan and the "Morganette Girls" will officially open the zaniest regatta you'll ever see.
