![]() The students had some help along the way with their hull designs and they were given one roll of duct tape for each team however, they were on their own for cardboard and additional tape. The boats were designed in a four-day period before and after school and during class. The boats had varied hull designs including flat bottoms like a barge or swamp boat and v-shaped like a schooner. Some boats had pontoons made from concrete forms. One had a table with table settings for afternoon tea while another boat was made from the slick cardboard from store packaging. "Fortune favors the bold," said Nick Nowland, RHS senior and a member of the Glamorous Glennis team, the first to successfully traverse the pool. We tried to keep the seams above the water." "Ours is more of a barge and not a speed boat. He said they used cardboard they found and tried to have as few seams as they could, keeping the bottom flat. The floor of the boat had several layers of cardboard which made it stiff and buoyant. Some teams had better boats while others had better costumes. "Who lives along the shore?" a member of the Pirate Team, junior Joe Probus, shouted to a competitor after their boat fell apart at the edge of the pool. The Pirates' boat also sank, but in the center of the pool while they continued paddling, without listing or floundering. If a boat didn't make it all the way, the most the students lost was 10 points, as long as it floated for at least three seconds with passengers. In addition to class credit for successfully traversing the pool, three teams earned awards for being the fastest, sinking the best or having the best theme. The Pirates, dressed in pirate costumes, earned the Titanic Award for the best sinking. Seal Team 6 earned the overall award for the fastest time. The Tea Party team and the Yacht Club team tied for the supreme theme award. "We got full credit for making it there and back," Nick said.YachtWorld presently offers 387 yachts for sale in Mexico from well-qualified yacht brokerage companies and new boat dealers who can often offer various warranty packages for your yacht along with loans and financing options. ![]() Of these listings there are 37 new vessels and 350 used boats and yachts for sale right now. ![]() These include 32 yachts listed for sale in Mexico in the past month alone. ![]() Over the past few weeks, the most popular, trending yacht classes and boat types for sale in Mexico (i.e. the classes with the most views) were Flybridge, Motor Yachts, Passenger, Cruisers and Sloop.
