Why are the photos labelled “Raingutter Regatta”?
This is the name of this form of event run by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) using model boat kits, and this is background on which we based this activity. We may even move onto the kit boats for our next race 
The raingutter regatta is a Cub Scouting annual event in the United States of America that is the sailboat equivalent of the pinewood derby. The sailboat kit consists of a seven-inch (178 mm) long balsa wood hull, a 6-1/2 inch mast, plastic sail, plastic rudder, and metal keel.

Modifications for speed include the placement of the keel and rudder and the size, shape and location of the sail. A catamaran is an exceptionally fast design, although this modification is not allowed in all races. … [wikipedia]
