Any of these sounds great, but I'd probably add a rule saying that any
floating MOC cannot use those boat hull pieces specifically designed for
floating on water (but those minifig rowboats & canoes would be ok I think)
- that'd kinda lose the challenge of making Lego MOCs float.
But speaking of those hulls, I do have an idea for those that could be
interesting if Jeremy would be willing to do it - I know he has quite a few
of those boat pieces that float. The idea would be that he provides those
boats, we each of us participating have to bring a specified # of pieces
(any kind) to build on those boats as a variation of the "best-dressed"
idea. If we did that, any of us bringing pieces should probably write up a
list of the pieces brought to simplify sorting out any pieces lost in the
water.
