Make a boat that floats
Try your hand at building a boat that actually floats! Southend has been a boating community for fishing since the 14th century! You could create a boat from any materials as long as it floats, race your friends and family to see who has the best boat and which ones are sinkers! Be creative and ambitious – how about trying to make a raft?
