At the 2012 event, NNSY won bragging rights to be called “THE YARD!", and we are ready to once again open that competition for our ship repair teams! Saturday June 15th 10:00 a.m. to Noon. VSRA, along with FM 99, will be hosting the 2nd Annual “The Yard” Cardboard Boat Face Off competition at Hilton Garden in Harbour View, Suffolk. Teams representing the areas local ship yards build their own vessel out of corrugated cardboard and duct tape put them to the test on the water. Crofton Diving tests them for weight bearing strength and buoyancy. The ships that stay afloat the longest, most closely resemble a Naval Vessel and have the highest amounts of exposed cardboard accumulate a score to determine the winner. The event starts promptly at 10:00 a.m. and lasts until Noon. In addition to the contest, there will be activates/games for kids, a raffle and a hot dog bar so spectators and family members are welcome to attend. Employees can register and attendees can RSVP at www.VSRA.info/rumble! Make sure your yard is represented and maybe they’ll take home the title of “The Yard”! Sponsored in part by Distributers International and Crofton Diving. A portion of the proceeds raised benefit the FM99 Christmas Wish Fund.
