Crazy raft race returnsThis could be bigger than the Scottish landing. After a break of 18 years, 2017 sees the return of the Waipu River Raft Race. Contestants will use their Kiwi ingenuity to construct something that will stay the course in the face of all sorts of attacks from opposing teams. From bathtubs to band aids (except polystyrene and specific floatation devices) sailors must spoon their way down the river in pursuit of the prizes on offer – $500 first prize for juniors, $1000 first prize for the open race. So, if you can create something that floats and can support a team of four then you should be in the Waipu Boat & Fishing Club and More FM Waipu River Raft Race. Prizegiving will follow after the event. Health and safety are paramount for both boaties and the river so pick up your full list of rules, regulations, and entry forms at Waipu Hammer Hardware or download from the More FM website. n Waipu Boat & Fishing Club and More FM Waipu River Raft Race; Sunday April 2; Junior race start 12.30pm, Open race start 1.30pm. |
