Welcome to the University of Nevada, Reno Concrete Canoe Website! We designed this site to allow current and prospective team members to have a way of keeping up to date on the happenings of the Nevada Concrete Canoe Team. Our other goal is to provide infomation and resources for other canoe teams, potential sponsors, and the interested novice. If you have any comments or suggetions, feel free to email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
Nevada has qualified to go to the 2009 NCCC in Tuscaloosa, AL! This year, we placed second at the Mid-Pacific Conference behind Cal Berkeley. Nevada placed first in every race, but trailed Berkeley in every other category. We have posted the final placements of teams (including a point breakdown)on our Mid-Pac 2009 page, and we have uploaded photos from the races at Sparks Marina. Check out the video below that we aired at the banquet that was assembled from video footage taken on race day. If you are interesed in donating to our team to help us travel to the national competition in Tuscaloosa, please visit our Sponsors page.
The 2009 Rules and Regulations have been posted! One of the most interesting changes this year is that all of the teams will be constructing a canoe with the same hull design. Part of final product judging will be based on each team's ability to replicate the specified hull design. Of course, this means that the hull design section and the drawing of the canoe itself will be removed from the design paper. Instead, an Innovation and Sustainability section will be added, reflecting the mandatory use of at least 25% recycled aggregates in the concrete mix design. Another interesting note is that the Analysis, Development and Testing, Project Management, and Construction sections of the design report may be proportioned in any way, as long as the total length of these sections does not exceed six pages. See the links below for all of the information regarding the 2009 Concrete Canoe Competition. Good luck to everyone! |
