Chris Kerslake and the “Smalltalk 2″ team competing in the 2010 Plywood Cup Race 2010 for Smalltalk at Granville Island in Vancouver, BC, Canada, June 5th, 2010.
This past weekend I participated in the Plywood Cup at Granville Island as a builder and the rower for my team, “Smalltalk 2″ (look for the SM2 on the back of my boat). We had 90 minutes to build a boat out of two sheets of plywood (1 x 1/4″ and 1 x 3/4″) and an 8 foot 2×2 using a hand saw, a hammer, 125 nails, 1 roll (30′) of duct tape, a ruler, a pencil and a utility knife — at one of the docks at Granville Island — and then we (er, I) had to row to the other side of False Creek and back.
I’m the guy in the orange shirt, black knee pads and white hat.
