The sixth edition of the Gibraltar Charity Cardboard boat race saw a record number of entries this past weekend, with Emilia Hazel Smith of Ocean Village noting that the enthusiasm and effort this year was ‘quite incredible.’
She added that, ‘Weeks of hard work clearly went into several of the boats, with winners of the Junior Race, The Black Pearl, also claiming Best Junior Boat Design for their unbelievable pirate ship construction and costumes. Meanwhile Saxomania, although only managing second in the Adult Race, won Best Adult Boat Design for their lifelike HMS Victory complete with papier-mâché pirate puppet who was given its own medal. O’Reilly’s won the adult race for the fifth consecutive year, and I am sure that fellow cardboard-constructors will be keen to learn the secret to success.’
