Resource Title:University of Wisconsin-Madison Concrete Canoe Team
Description:This website is the online home of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Concrete Canoe Team, which placed first in the 2003 National Concrete Canoe Championships. The site provides a step-by-step look at the planning, design, and construction of the winning canoe. Short descriptions and pictures of the cross section cutting, mold construction, and concrete pouring are given, as well as photo galleries of past championships. For a more technical insight into the process of creating a concrete canoe, visitors can view the design reports of the top five teams from 2000 to 2003. While illustrating the complex analyses that were performed, the papers also convey the creativity and occasional brashness held by each team.
