The “Titanic” trophy, for the boat that sank most spectacularly, went to the Batboat Mobile.

A pre-event “launch party” was held Friday night, at which design awards were given:

  • Most Likely to Float: Nova Labs
  • Most Reston: Reston Association
  • Most Creative: Kalypso’s Sports Tavern
  • Best Design: Lake Anne Brew House
  • Best Name: “Blowfish”

All proceeds from the event benefitted the Reston Museum and Historic Trust.
