Program Description

Event Details

Join us for the building event of the summer, the 2022 TADL Gutter Regatta! Design your boats with recycled materials from TADL's MakerCart. Then race them down long pools or gutters to see whose boat is fastest (or who can generate the most wind!). Challenge Island NW MI is our program host and will be on hand to help you build your boats and race them down the pools, along with TADL staff and volunteers.

Sign up for a 1 hour time slot here starting July 1st. Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your sign-up time to ensure your spot.

Here are some building suggestions to consider before you start working on your boat.
