_ Getting that sinking feeling

- Wednesday, June 29, 1988

Some go for boating
and swimming ...

If you and some friends are
handy with tools and have always
wanted to go down to the sca in
ships, then Slegg’s Boat Building
Contest may provide a quick in-
terlude on. the bounding main.
Long a favourite of the Sidney
Day’s events, the contest capital-
izes on Sidney’s marine heritage
while offering a unique bit of fun.

Well-planned ingenuity and
plain, desperate improvisation go
hand in hand with building a boat
as efficiently as possible and then
sailing and paddling it on a
course near the Beacon Avenue
wharf, It’s not enough to build a

@ craft that floats for a decent
length of time and can be paddled
and sailed -- the race rules require
each person of the five-member |
‘crew to change places after
finishing the paddling leg and be-
ginning the sailing leg.
