Onehunga's Cardboard Boat Race
Just three more days to go
Registrations for the cardboard boat race close on 2nd February, so if you are halfway through your build and haven’t registered yet, then do so today. If you are still considering a build, then register today, as you still have time to complete it and get in the race.
Some great prizes are being provided by Hunting and Fishing Botany, who have sponsored prizes in all the previous cardboard boat races. These will be awarded for the best-looking boat and fastest crossing of Onehunga Lagoon.
The Cardboard Boat Race is taking place at the Onehunga Lagoon, at the Onehunga Festival, 1st March 2025. Entry cost is $23.
Get your registration in now to avoid missing out.
You still have time to design and build your boat, which can be made with cardboard and/or core flute (the stuff used by our elected members for their campaign signs). No other materials, such as wood, plastic, etc, should be used. Duct tape and glue can be used to join sections of your boat together, and it should be brightly painted to ensure waterproofing (especially if using cardboard).

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
