Information
This is for an easy entry level design that is is very rewarding because it will move through the water with its paddle propeller. Just cut the boat and the propeller, slide the propeller together, put a rubber band on the boat, spin the propeller backwards as much as you can then drop it in the water to let 'er rip!

Now that everything is assembled you can spin the paddle backwards (towards you) until you get the rubber band spun tight. Holding the tight paddle set the boat in the water and let go of the paddle which will allow the boat to move!
