Cardboard Boat Regatta Gallery Captions

The Cardboard Boat Regatta, sponsored by the Council for Advancing Student Leadership, features boats made solely of cardboard and duct tape racing the length of the IU Outdoor Pool. Teams race against each other and the clock. The five fastest boats compete in a final heat to determine the winners. The 2006 race was held on Sept. 29.

Trophies are awarded to the three most creative boats, as well as the three fastest boats.
