Yacht Club is proud to sponsor the 11th annual Sika
Build-A-Boat Challenge. Teams, called syndicates,
will compete for the coveted Sika Challenge Cup. Each
team, consisting of eight members, is challenged to
design, build, and sail or paddle
a small boat using a limited set of materials and
an unlimited quantity of fast-curing Sikaflex®-291
Sealant.
Starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 24, at the AYC
annex, teams will be allotted up to six hours to complete
their boats using identical supplied
materials. There are specific rules
that must be followed in building and paddling
or sailing the boats.
The
competition begins with the construction phase and
ends with the race to the finish on Sunday June 25,
starting at 1:20 p.m. It's a fun event for the whole
family!
Festivities
begin with a party and dinner for participants, AYC
members, and friends on Friday, June 23.
Cost for dinner is $25 per person plus tax and tip,
and reservations for dinner

site for teams and visitors. Proceeds from the event
