# '''https://www.oceansidechamber.com/oceanside-harbor-days.html Oceanside Harbor Days]''' (2nd Weekend in Sept - Popular Sea Scout Activity) - With Nail and Sail, three-member teams have two and a half hours to build a boat from scratch that they will race across the harbor, around a buoy and return to the dock. All they have to work with are three 8-foot sheets of plywood, about 40 feet of framing boards, nails and caulk supplied by Harbor Days’ organizers – the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce. No power tools are allowed. They can’t bring duct tape or other outside supplies.<ref>[http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/north-county/sd-me-oceanside-harbordays-20170915-story.html SD UnionTribune - Boat builders aim to stay afloat at Oceanside Harbor Days]</ref> | |||
