Family Model Boat Race. My Future My Choice, Imayla and MV Balmorall

Weekend family workshops on the MV Balmoral have created model sail-boats that children will launch and race in the heritage harbour. Competitors will collect their boat from the MV Balmoral, moored outside M Shed Museum where the 'She Choir' will be performing to wave them off. The boats will be paraded on foot around the quayside to Prince Street Pontoon with the help of the Royal Naval Volunteers Service. Children will board a SeaCycle, a small boat to launch their boats out on the water. The winner will be the boat that sails fastest, furthest and stays afloat longest. The boats are made entirely of card and paper tape so construction skills are critical. Refreshments, celebrations and prizes will be awarded back on MV Balmoral where everyone will be welcomed aboard by performances by the 'She Choir'.
