Step 2Construction
Making a fire boat requires no specialised tools. In fact, it requires no tools at all.
A certain amount of intuition is also desirable.
Tear a piece of the foil to a suitable size, and fix it to the side of the pie-tin by scrunching the edge of the foil along the lip of the tray.
Curve the sail over the top of the boat. If it droops too far, add a crease or curve along the middle of the sail to ~~stop it drooping~~ add structural integrity.
Stand the candle in the boat, and you're ready to go.
The photos in this step are of the fire boats made by my Science-clubbers, before they took to the water. Some required tweaking, but they all worked to some degree.
