Boat Race

Friday 2/1

Well, due to the unfortunate event of the hair dryer's violent death, we were unable to race our boat. I went in on Friday during my lunch to race the boat and to make sure it wasn't touching the sides so it would properly race. After putting the 20 marbles in the boat (10 in each water bottle so the weight would be distributed evenly) I used the hair dryer on the lowest setting and tested it. There were only a couple times that it touched the sides, but all in all it raced quite well. Sure, it wasn't fast, but it did its job and sailed true. Throughout the testing I noticed that it actually sailed a lot better going backwards rather than the direction I had built it to sail. All in all, I think we did pretty well considering the time we had to make an entire new one after our beloved 1st one was violently taken from us. Below is a side shot of the final product.
