DUCT TAPE REGATTA
The Duct Tape Regatta will sail out soon. The Swampscott Rotary initiative is also Bob Erbetta’s baby and he will need some strong arms – he’s still looking for three (strong/light) crew members and two alternates with some kayaking experience, if possible. The RCOMH vessel is pretty well completed and the Regatta is scheduled for Saturday, June 22, 2019 at 11:00, departing from Fisherman’s Beach in Swampscott.
All boats must be home made with PVC pipe, rope, duct tape, recyclable bottles and cardboard, and be crewed by four persons. Each crew must raise $400 for a clean water project. Application deadline is June 14th. Click here to download application form and regulations.
Thank you John Williams, Kathleen Murphy, and Zhenique Israelian for your contributions to Scuttlebutt.
