This year a record nineteen rafts were entered in the annual Recycled Raft Race held in Raglan as part of the Community and Environment Day (Maui Dolphin Day). Competitors sprinted down the sand to their rafts then paddled under the Kopua footbridge, over to buoy by the Museum and then up the Opotoru to the top buoy and then back to the finish. And of course on the way back the teams had to battle the incoming tide. As usual clear leaders emerged early on while others were still making their way up the Opotoru.
