A great group of youth-oriented volunteers has coalesced around this year's Wooden Boat Challenge. This is creating interesting opportunities for schools. 

Hi Everyone, Past and Present Teams and interested People, 

We have lots of news for everyone, first of all we still have spaces available in the competition, if you haven't signed up yet, please sign up soon! Because of the overwhelming approval of the new "Mystery Material" from last year's teams, we are again adding a "Mystery Material" that will be incorporated in to your boats, with an award for the most "Creative Use of the Mystery Material"
