Come m’hearties, for a Battle on the High C’s (that’s. C for Cardboard).
It’s Summer and Clan Brechin & Friends would like to invite you to get Creative with Cardboard boxes and make a ship to battle it out to be the Conquerors of the Clan Brechin Seas. There will also be Campaigns during the day for you to try and win some Booty for your Crew. So gather your Crew mates and get aboard.

Rules of the C:

  • Crews must be registered to enter 1 week before by messaging Airdin (Cutoff is 18th Jan). You have until the 25th of January to construct your ship.
  • Ships must be manned by at least 3 Crew (preferred 2 Crew to hold the Ship and a Cabin person)
  • Cabin person will have to be able to disembark the ship to do a series of missions
  • Construction materials that may be used are:
  • Cardboard boxes,
  • Pool Noodles,
  • Tape,
  • Staples,
  • String/rope/webbing
  • Cloth

The objective will be to make a sturdy ship to partake in a Boat Race. But do not fear Clan Brechin would not say that you cannot defend yourself with Cannons in the form of pool noodle water pistols. Plus Water Balloons, And sponges. Some will be supplied but also bring your own. But it’s not all just fun and games for those at sea. Because the populace and opposing Crew mates will be defending the shores as well.
If you don’t have a ship you can still join a crew and assist in gathering booty in games and activities.

For those not wanting to get wet there will be games in the Dolphins Keep.
