Maker Faire Bay Area 2023

Dinghy Derby

Home: California, United States

The Dinghy Derby is a no-rules creative sailboat building and racing experience for makers of all ages. Participants will start in the building area by selecting from a variety of recycled materials to build a boat. Makers can then test their boat in one of the two kiddie pools, set up with various obstacles for different difficulty levels. They will launch their boat using a hand fan to propel and navigate their boat to the finish line. Makers can test and repeat as many times as they wish! First Mate Pool: no obstacles on a straight track Captain Pool: buoys and wind-up toy obstacles navigating around an island
