Power system was working at one point.


Once we got some ballast in the back we did move ok.


I'm not sure but I think only one ship in our heat actually went around the course.


Sinking still is the easiest thing to do!

Afloat!


As you can see, the ship rode very well (for a few minutes).
Note how we needed Chris in the stern to weigh down our propeller.
I have no idea how the water go in...


The water is definitely getting in!


And more water got in - I think we knew we'd be going down - all that was left was to fire our cannon and sink.


Sinking is certainly easier than racing around the loop!

Masts are up. (Sorry about the order on these posts - Picassa is new to me)

Some mean faces - practicing for the newspaper.


Getting ready to sail. Oh if we'd only had more time to do that rudder!
