Boat Project

Boat Project

My boat was a speed racer. To begin I got some Styrofoam and cut it into a block. It already had an indention in it as a place I would be able to place the 20 marbles. I then found a wooden dale to stick into the Styrofoam to become my mast. After adding the mast I cut off a piece of aluminum fool to attach to the mast for my sail. My boat was near completion. All i had left was to create a rudder and a keel. To make the  two remaining parts of my boat I got some cardboard and cut an "L" shape out. I then duck taped it to the bottom and my boat was complete. On the day of testing my boat was fast and had amazing steer controls. The only thing stopping it from being the number one boat was my sail was unstable. To fix the problem I attached a piece of tape around the wooden dale to secure it better.
