Boat Challenge Part 3

The third instalment of the Boat Challenge went ahead on Friday 15th March with reduced building components and build time.  This time each team had 7 straws, 10 cm cling-wrap, 5 cm of duct tape and build time of 20 minutes.
To be successful the boat had to hold the most mass, in the form of the most copper discs, and not take on water excessively or begin to capsize. 
This time around saw each team have a definite plan and they stuck to it during the build, with only minor modifications during building.  Compared to previous attempts this was a marked improvement on their time management and design process.
Results:
The launching of SS Outrigger under the guidance of Captain Nat, 1st Officer Chris and & 2nd Officer Lucas saw a novel design of a deep seated keel but little stabilisation.  The vessel held with the addition of 5 discs but the 6th proved her underdoing and due to the lack of outrigger hulls she slid under the waves. (Total 5 discs)
The next vessel to taste the water was SS Tailrider commanded by Captain Alex, 1st Officer Marty and Chief Engineer Russ.  She started out well handling 11 discs but she started to take on water and by disc 15 she was turning turtle and on her way to the bottom. (Total 14 discs)
SS Raftqueen was launched to much fanfare and jumping up and down by her excited crew of Captain Tayla, 1st Mate Maddi, 2nd Mate Alice and Chief Engineer Catherine.  She took to the waves like a thoroughbred and easily handled 26 discs before she slowly slipped under the waves and watched her cargo go to the bottom. (Total 25 discs)
The final vessel, SS OMG under the guidance of Captain Danni, 1st Mate Maddie, 2nd Officer Lauren and 3rd Mate Brie looked imposing and she quickly took on 30 discs before starting to fail.  This meant she won the challenge however, due to a time limitation infraction the crew were docked half their load. (Total 15+ discs).
Standings after 4 challenges:
1st Alice, Catherine, Maddi & Tayla
2nd Danni, Brie, Lauren & Maddie  // Alex, Marty & Russ
3rd  Chris, Lucas & Nat
The next challenge is going to be interesting, On Target will push their design abilities to the next level.
