As part of World Environment Day, Pittsburgh breaks the Guinness World Record™ for Largest Raft of Canoes/Kayaks. The record was most recently set by 1,104 boats in Inlet, New York, and previously held by Cleveland.
The official count not yet released - but an estimated 1,800 took part in the event.
The record involved a flotilla, a free-floating raft of kayaks and canoes held together by hands. Kayakers launched their boats from downtown and formed a raft near Point State Park. Once arranged, each pulled up his or her paddle and held onto an adjacent boat for 30 seconds—long enough to satisfy the record’s time requirement.
