That was awsome.

 The problem with today is: They just won't let you load the boys (and girls) up 
in the boat and sail down the coast to burn someone's damn village down.

Forwarded from another list.  This was made for a children's charity event in  
St. Louis .  Good publicity for the SCA:

cardboard viking boart maiden voyage

luckily the rain held off long enough for the maiden voyage of the cardboard 
viking boat.

it was truly amazing, the boat and the amount of money raised.

here's a video of the christening of the boat

Ok, that was just phenomenal to watch! Thanks so much for posting it.

Wish I could also see what others built and how they fared.

The boat took the course two times.  They did not go for speed, but
they did win what they tried for.  Style!  They won Best of the Regatta.

The Longboat was the flagship of the race.  The video posted showed not only
the maiden voyage of the boat itself, but the opening trip for the event.
The event staff was sufficiently impressed with the end result that they
specifically requested the SCA float solo first time out.

It wasn't very fast.  Took over 12 minutes to make the course in the first
trip.  Hardly a winning time.

Now the world has to look out.  This was planned in a short evening and
constructed in just a month's time.  NEXT year's boat will be tossed about
at the post revel tonight, and we have a full YEAR to build.  Somehow, I
don't think the world is ready for what crazy drunk SCAdians can come up
with.....

This is AWESOME! Thank you so much for posting this.

Congrats to everyone for winning Best of Regatta.

And of course, there was singing :)!
