Final round: the winner is Tape-N-Pray (as it had lot of duct tape around and they prayed that it worked)

It did!

Round 2 at #jsconfus #nodeboats: the boats had to reach the goal post and most of them got stuck right near it

And TitanicJS drowned 😜 https://t.co/PBGj4AD3x0

The first round was loads of fun!

Our boat "Megaladon" was the second one to reach half point, but the propeller got disconnected and it got stuck mid-way on return journey 😞

The keel is installed, but looks like we need lot more weight! #nodeboats https://t.co/uYaX3qtnE9

And looks like we have pretty stable keel ready to be installed on our boat

Thanks to #nodeboats at #jsconfus we're getting to learn a lot about how sailboats work

Our keel will be designed based on the expected wind speed of 17-19 kmph from WSW direction #nodeboats https://t.co/GY3Jjserju

Our prototype boat from #nodeboats

It's too light and gets moved by slight wind - time to add weight may be? https://t.co/mBWJvaRt1j
