LAKEPORT, Calif. – Creative and adventurous people of all ages gathered in Lakeport on Thursday to test the limits of duct tape and cardboard.

The sixth annual Cardboard and Duct Tape Regatta, hosted by the Lakeport Yacht Club, drew hundreds of people from around Lake County and beyond.

The event was held in the midst of Lakeport's Independence Day celebration.

This year's regatta saw a number of creative vessels take to the water, from basic tubs to an elaborate pirate ship complete with two sails.

The result was a hilarious and entertaining boat race.
