Visitors and participants at this week’s 2013 Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta, which is held on Schuylkill River in Philadelphia from May 10 to 11, will have the opportunity to see a special Mini Convertible concept seemingly driving on the water.
The one-of-a-kind Mini Convertible boat is the creation of the MINI USA Eastern Region and was designed and built as part of the MINI USA’s Not Normal sales event last October having travelled on water for the first time at the Charles Regatta (HOCR) in Cambridge, Massachusetts during the 2012 races.
“MINI is known for being unconventional, and sponsorship at an event like the Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta is an opportunity to make a lasting impression with attendees, and add value to the event by further increasing its fun factor,” said Laura Towey, Regional Business Manager, MINI USA.
The Mini boat was manufactured by ACI Composites Inc from Pennsylvania, which made a mould of a 2004 Mini Hardtop, and then created a fiberglass version of the car that was mounted on to a boat hull, before it was fitted with a 6 hp outboard motor and a number of accessories.
