The University of South
Australia participated in the event that was sponsored in part by the
Concrete Institute of .Australia. Be sure to catch the audio segment
where Ms. Bree Bennett talks about Adelaide's design and the U.S.

There was no limitation on boat design and points were tallied based on the
races alone.
