Haines High School Sophomore Seth Waldo won his ‘Redneck Engineering’ class’s duct tape boat race Monday afternoon. The class is taught by Matt Davis during mini-week, when a lot of students are away at basketball regionals.

The boats are made entirely of duct tape, cardboard and plastic bags. This year, instead of testing the vessels in the pool, they took a lap around the small boat harbor. One of the boats was the clear victor. KHNS’s Emily Files talked to Waldo after he won the race.
