"Pre-National Photos
of Regional
Qualifiers"
Links to these and other
schools are available through our concrete
canoe websites page. Statistics for the national competitors are
included in "For the Record."
Have you seen "The Front Line"
and our selected regional
coverage?

Granite" -

Drexel University
with "Concrete Charlie"- Mid-Atlantic.
Drexel's big
innovation this year was the use of a high-tech, self-leveling concrete
that flowed almost like soup. The
Drexel team designed "male" and "female" molds - one
in the shape of the hull's interior and one of its exterior - and simply
poured its concrete into
the narrow channel between the two. A steel mesh provides
reinforcement.
"No other team
has anything like it," says Mike Carnivale, chair of the rules
committee for the competition. See:
"Heavyweight
Paddlers," written by Tom Avril for the Philadelphia Inquirer on
May 29, 2006.

14, 2006.
