Talk:Cardboard boat race

I'm not sure how to approach adding teams or links at the bottom. We also need a nice usable photo--Rbeas 03:44, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

First Regatta

First in the article it says this:

"The earliest documented cardboard boat regatta was the result of a design problem created by Davis Pratt at Southern Illinois University in 1962."

Then later it says this:

"Great Cardboard Boat Regatta is the original event. started in 1974 at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois. The founder was Richard Archer, a professor of art and design, whose Design 102 class was exploring one of R. Buckminster Fuller's principles: "Doing the most with the least.""

Which is it? Was it Davis Pratt in 1962 or Richard Archer in 1974? At least we can agree it was at Southern Illionois University... --Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû 05:03, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

This doesn't at all read like an encyclopedia... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.235.90.155 (talk) 16:55, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
