The 2014 Winners are: Norfolk Naval Ship Yard and UHP Projects!!!!!

 

“THE YARD!" competition was FABULOUS! VSRA, and FM 99, hosted more than 140 people and six teams for the 3rd Annual “The Yard” Cardboard Boat Face Off competition at Scott's Creek Marina in Portsmouth. The weather was AMAZING on the staff at Scott's Creek Marina were so gracious and helpful. Teams from Auxiliary Systems, UHP Projects, NNSY, NNS, BAE Systems Norfolk Ship Repair, and NASSCO-Norfolk built their own vessels out of corrugated cardboard and duct tape, then put them to the test on the water. Crofton Diving got a work out as some ships exceeded 400 lbs. of weight before sinking!

Sponsored by Advanced Integrated Technologies (AIT) and Incredible Supply & Logistics with support from Distributers International and Crofton Diving. $490.00 was raised to benefit the FM99 Christmas Wish Fund.
