\"rafts-2009\"<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, we were invited to take part in the raft race at this year\u2019s 19th Fool’s Regatta.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Fool’s Regatta is one of the social highlights of the year in TCI. It is always a fun event and this year the proceeds will go to the Volunteer Fire Fighters and\u00a0the new National Sailing Centre.\u00a0 The emphasis is on the getting the children involved with hobie-cat,\u00a0 boat, caicos sloop and home-made raft races for all to take part in.<\/p>\n

The opportunity to build, decorate and race a raft was a challenge that was eagerly accepted by eighteen of our children from Grades 3 -7. Over a period of two weeks, the children worked in teams after school to see their design move from the drawing board to water.<\/p>\n

The \u201cFlame ‘n\u2019 Go’s\u201d team created a spectacular pink and orange craft using an inflatable mattress and plywood; \u201cPeace Out\u2019\u2019 opted for\u00a0 an extremely lightweight creation made of plastic piping and 8 five gallon water bottles; and \u201cThe International Boat\u201d,\u00a0 our heavy weight contender, consisted of a wooden frame surrounding two extremely large flotation devices.\u00a0\u00a0 Look at the slideshow<\/a> to see the stages of construction.
