Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race
2011 Race Report: The Kipplala

At the water entry, their unusual configuration had one pilot facing forward and one backward. The front steering wheel became a rudder with a simple insert.

Once again, the artistic value of a giant head is profound. We’re not sure what the head is made of; if they tell us we’ll post it here!
