 **2023**, Sat 17 June: Not enough interest from the Hacklab members to form a raft building team. \\
+They did allow DIY rafts (unlike 2024) - photos of another team's 2023 raft: [[https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=585707257077973&set=pb.100069161111410.-2207520000 | link]]

 **2024**, Sat 15 June: Unfortunately the canal festival team didn't want to secure the insurance and safety people required to run a raft race of DIY rafts, and so each team was only allowed to decorate two pre-prepared canoes taped together. Someone from the Edinburgh Forge did build their own raft and sailed it in the canal, separately from the event. \\
