Raingutter Regatta is similar to Pinewood Derby, instead of racing cars, you race model sailing boats down a length of gutter 1:1 against your opponent, by blowing into its sail.
We have found that capping a pair of square profile gutters works well, using external stopends, and a few mounting brackets. When setting up it’s worth trying to get the setup level, say on a table or a-frame tressles, otherwise you will have more water at one end than the other!
Get in touch with us by email if you would like to order kits for this activity as we have experience of running these events (with Beavers and Scouts!) and have developed a perfect formula for components that work together using a catamaran design!
