Alright, so you're stuck at home and running out of things to do, well we have you covered with a few Special Projects and a chance to win some ETNZ gear.

This week Geoff Senior, the team Construction Manager has tasked you with designing your own AC75. He loves Lego, but if Lego isn't your thing, feel free to build your AC75 out of whatever you have lying around.

Just make sure you check with mum and dad before using the toilet paper to make the mainsail.

Once you're done, post a photo or video to our Facebook page with the hashtag #myAC75 and Geoff will pick his favourite at the end of the week - closes Friday, April 3.

Keep an eye out for more challenges to come.
