Ok, I will bite, how do you make a canoe that doesn't float??? Out of carbon fiber no less!

Purdue University had a competition where students made canoes out of cement and they floated...

Maybe the canoe didn't have enough weight and would capsize when empty? Everything would be above the waterline and top heavy.

I took the pic of the stand and sent it to Johnny.
It is located at Bathtub Beach in Stuart Florida at the entrance to Sailfish Point.
The beach has been washed away some and the stand was moved to the parking lot.
At sometime in the past a guard slipped and got hurt ,then wanted to sue Mosler.
Warren ordered all molds cut up / destroyed.
Thanks a lot sue happy people....
