Official Rain Gutter Regatta Rules
for Pack 39

NO BOATS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS WILL BE ALLOWED!!!
Over all hull design, size and shape should not be altered. Although sanding is allowed.
Over all boat height should measure between 7 and 8 inches from bottom of boat to top of mast – not including keel and rudder.
The sail should be no larger than the material supplied in the kit.
There is no restriction on color or design.
Boats must be made from the BSA Rain Gutter Regatta kits. However the materials supplied in the kit can be modified and added to somewhat.
The hull, mast, and sail provided in the kit must be used, however, they can be modified.
The keel and rudder must be used without modification.
The sail may be glued to the mast or held in place in some other fashion.
Boys, when called to race, place boat in gutter and place one hand in front of their sail holding the boat back against the end of the gutter and get ready to blow on the word "GO" from the judges.
Racing will be double elimination. You must lose twice to be eliminated from further competition.
When racing boys are allowed to "upright" their boats with their hands, but, cannot push the boats forward when doing so. We will give one warning and run the particular race over if one boy pushes his boat ahead AND that boat wins. We will have to eliminate a boy from racing if he pushes his boat on the restart of a race. We don't want to eliminate a boy from racing.
