This is one of the more unique events here in GTMO. The Cardboard Boat Regatta takes place once a year in May and is open to anyone who wants to build a boat completely out of cardboard. The idea is to row your boat around the buoys without sinking. However, the audience usually hopes to see one or two boats fail just for the entertainment value. The entries this year included a pirate ship with a working cannon, a "love boat", and some boats that were only big enough for two people. The races are run out at Ferry Landing Beach. The winner from each preliminary race advances to the final race. This year the pirate ship was the big winner.
