With assistance from 16
Maine companies and Scott Phillips, of Old Town Canoe, a team of
University of Maine Civil Engineering students took 3rd place out of
fifteen entrants in the annual concrete canoe races in Connecticut in
April. The team of 22 students put in more then 700 hours building
the 170 lb. boat. Races were held over two courses, one 200 meters long
the other 600 meters long. Four boats sank during the event, but the
Maine entry remained afloat. |
