On July 5-th 2025, Amphibious Response Support Unit ONE is proud to host the 3-rd Annual Echo Lake Plywood Regatta & Waterfest as our organization’s annual fundraiser. The main goal of the event is to promote water and boating safety on our lakes and rivers here in Saskatchewan.
Summary of event:
On July 5th, 2025 Teams will line up to see who can be the first to cross the finish line at the “Echo Lake Plywood Regatta & Waterfest” Teams of 4 people will build a boat from plywood and race along the mighty waters of Echo lake competing
against other teams to see who can be the first to cross the finish line.
The object of this event is for competitors to build a boat with materials (plywood, screws, nails and duct tape – that we supply) in a limited amount of time and one or more member of the team race the boat around a course to the finish line. This
year we have added some additional components to the race that make it not only more challenging, but more enjoyable for the competing teams of the race and visitors.
Teams will consist of 4 persons and can have 1 or more paddlers with a (special category of they choses to have a dog with them in their boat).
Competitors are required to bring their own hand tools (hammer, saw, pliers, etc) we will allow the use of cordless saws (110 volt power is not available).
