Displacement. As long as the boat displaces enough to give it a positive bouyancy then it won't sink. Just like the big steel tankers. You'd think HEY would sink the amount they weigh.

well the other reason it wont sink is that the mix is actually lighter than water

thats really cool thing to do

My friend is studdying civil engineering at rowan university and every year the engineering majors have a contest, its a concreat cano race across a lake. Its funny as hell becse some of them do crack and its great seeing people just drop into the water.

How thin of a layer of concrete can you use to not crack? Seems like the pain in the @ss part of the problem. How many people need to ride in this thing to make it "legal"?

well the races have to have four people in it at once and the total thickness of our canoe is 3/4". It doesnt seem like much but we used a double reinforcing system with i fiberglass mesh and a plastic mesh. So hopefully ours shouldnt crack. It should be interesting though. I get to be one of the lucky ones to be in the boat so hopefully it doesnt crack
