The Wobbly Club of Catamaran Club, Falmouth Harbour, Antigua, is holding it’s 4th Annual B.Y.O.B. build your own boat contest on Feriday 16th February, 2007. It’s a good fun event where the most un-orthodox and deliberately un-offical ‘yacht club’ invites all yachties and friends to build a craft and sail, row or somehow propel it around the Catamaran Club. The results are hilarious!

When entering the contest you get some light plywood, a few nails, a roll of duct tape, string, garbage bags and sail cloth if you beg. You then get two and a half hours to build the MCA, Lloyds Certified vessel (starting 12:00 noon). The Le Mans style start takes place on Shelly Beach at 16.30 hours. The style is a free for all no-rules type of affair. Well, the organisers have asked you not to use your outboard engines! Up to 25 teams are expected.

Meanwhile the bar will open at 14:00 hours with some helping sponsorship from English Harbour Rum, Bavaria Beer and Best Cellars Wine. The Wobbly Club was formed several years ago around a small round wobbly table in what was “Jimmy’s Bar”, Catamaran Club. A bunch of yachties and friends were taking a bit of laugh at the seriousness of the Antigua Yacht Club. The idea is that no rules should apply. Anyone could become a Commodore as long as you bought the table a round of drinks! So, Come enjoy the fun!
