6th Annual Build-A-Boat Challenge
Build-A-Boat 2008 Results
The Ocean Institute's fifth Annual Build-A-Boat Challenge presented by Al Larson Boat Shop was a wonderful success, raising more than $45,000 for the preservation of the Institute's two tall ships, Pilgrim and Spirit of Dana Point. Eighteen teams competed against one another to design, build, and race their boats at Baby Beach, alongside the Institute.
Team Sponsors included Al Larson Boat Shop, Arciero Bros. Inc., BLUEWater Design Group, Bryan Stirrat & Associates, City of Dana Point, Dana Point Yacht Club, Dana West Youth Sailing, Inc., General Electric, Howard S. Wright Constructors, Makar Properties, Mission Internal Medical Group, Preserved Treescapes, San Mar Construction Co, SASCO, South Coast Medical Center, Toshiba America Business Solutions and U.S. Bancorp.
Youth groups throughout Orange County participated in the boat building including Sea Scouts, Fire Station 29, and Ocean Institute volunteers. We also had Dave Gerhard and his team from Concordia Elementary build a wonderful boat!
More than 500 spectators enjoyed watching the races, cheering for the paddlers, and witnessing a few boats sink!
