RI Yacht Club Cardboard Boat Regatta
About this race
1st annual Rhode Island Yacht Club Cardboard Boat Regatta will be open to the public and held at the RIYC facilities on Ocean Avenue, Edgewood, RI in 2026 Date to be Announced.
Join us as we celebrate a day of creativity, competition, and free family fun. We will kick off a series of heats testing the engineering, ingenuity, determination, and artistry of our participants.
Launching from 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.
RIYC, is also looking for corporate sponsors to promote and to help with the cost of hosting this exciting community event.
