NEW YORK (PIX11) — For Stony Brook University students, tradition involves a lot of innovation — and the possibility of getting completely soaked.
After a few years off due to the pandemic, Stony Brook hosted its 33rd Annual Roth Pond Regatta. The mission: sail 200 yards in boats made out of cardboard and duct tape.
The 2022 theme was “Sail Through the Sands of Time.” Boats were judged on appearance, sea-worthiness, originality, spirit and other factors.
