Sail Boat Challenge

 2021 got off to a very busy start in 7 & 8 MNL Homeroom. One of our challenges in Term One, was to design and make sailboats, after learning about the wind and wind power. The criteria for our sailboats included having to have the following components:

  • A sail
  • A mast
  • A keel
  • A hull
After many weeks of testing and designing, we finally got to test out our creations at the start of Term Two after bad weather at the end of Term One delayed our chance to do this. 

All of our boats were able to float, and the majority were able to sail down a local stream, some more successfully than others. You can see some photos below:
