Annual Raft Race

The Annual Raft Race takes place on the Saturday morning on the last weekend of January each year, and sees most of the Clubs in the Eastern Province Area travelling to Kenton-on-Sea to race their rafts down the river.

The race follows the tides, running either from the Kariega bridge to the Kariega slipway, or slipway to bridge. The rules are simple: no engines, no boats, and RT210 Alex/Kenton as the hosts may not win (not that we normally stand a chance...).

This year we had great fun building our amazing raft - the Stingray, and despite it's great potential, were pipped at the post! This project is an amazing "gees" builder, with everyone loving the experience, despite it all being over in about fifteen minutes.
