The Great Raingutter Rigatta


Last night was Stuart's first Raingutter Rigitta. He made the boat by himself, except the first layer of paint. Stuart is very pleased of how the boat looks. Stuart's boat was raced four times. He won, lost, won and lost the last race.






As you can see the cubs had two options for wind power, blowing through a straw or just blowing directly into the sail. During practice races, Stuart tried both styles of power. He decided that he preferred to blow directly into the sail. I think all the boys had tired cheeks after the races were over!


One of my favorite things about Stuart is that he cheers others on. Last night he was very intense in cheering his fellow cubs on. We could hear his voice over anyone else in the small crowd.





Stuart had a great time!
