Sunrise Solutions sponsored the “Rubber Ducky” entry in the 2008 Summerside Lobster Carnival Cardboard Boat Race.Chris Gilfoy and his team of Tony Hancock and Craig Williams did a phenomenal job of building this giant likeness of a rubber ducky – over 11 feet long by 6 feet wide and 6 feet tall!
For more pics and info see Chris Gilfoy’s Facebook album and this Journal-Pioneer Article.
All the work paid off as the boat was the overall crowd favourite by far and won the “Best Decorated Boat” award. Also Rubber Ducky came in a very close second place in the race. Although the Rubber Ducky was likely the fastest boat, the competition took a short cut under the dock to get to the ribbons faster and won by less than 4 seconds.
Special thanks to Chris Gilfoy and his team for building this fantastic work of art.
