On Sunday, Oct. 8th behind Town Hall at the public boat ramp, hundreds of watchers turned out for the 13th annual Manchester by the Sea Cardboard Boat Regatta and its promise of an afternoon of raucous, rollicking fun with costumes, light-hearted grudge matches, and the emergence of real legacies in the record books of cardboard-and-duct-tape-boat racing. This year, 28 boats raced with names like Apollo 7, Tropic Like It's HOT, Flotsame & Jetsun, Granny Panty, Barbenheimer, Rubber Duckie, Gulls Gone Wild, among others. It was, yet again, an amazing day.
