One of the highlights of Wivenhoe Town Regatta is back, and we'd love to see your team on the water!
Don't worry... your raft doesn't need to be a masterpiece of engineering. If it "floats", you're halfway there! 😄
Gather some friends, family or work colleagues, build your own raft and enjoy a bit of friendly competition on the River Colne.
🛟 Buoyancy aids are provided
🚤 A safety boat will be on the water throughout
🏁 The course is a short paddle out to the buoy and back, right in front of the quayside crowds.
Whether you're racing to win or just taking part for a laugh, it's a fantastic part of Regatta Day.
