Cardboard Boat Regatta - 1st Annual RI Yacht Club 150th Celebration
On August 16th, we continue our year long celebration of the Rhode Island Yacht Club's 150th anniversary. The 1st annual Cardboard Boat Regatta will be open to the public held at the RIYC facilities on Ocean Avenue, Edgewood, RI.
Join us as we celebrate a day of creativity, competition, and free family fun. Starting at 1pm, we will kick off a series of heats testing the engineering, ingenuity, determination, and artistry of our participants.
Launching from the RIYC on Stillhouse Cove, each hand made cardboard boat must hold at least two crew members, who will hopefully paddle their ship out and around a buoy and back to the beach. Boats will compete in a series of heats in competitive categories.
We expect to see the spirited competitors from Local Universities, Private and Public High Schools, Civic Organizations, and the local Restaurant and Hospitality merchants.
This will obviously be a spectacle long remembered and not to be missed.
Food, Beverages and RIYC Cardboard Boat Regatta Merchandise will be available for purchase during the event.
Date: 8.16.25 1pm
RIYC, is also looking for corporate sponsors to promote and to help with the cost of hosting this exciting community event.
