The racing proved to be a great success and the weather stayed dry as well. Of the 25 teams competing, three made it to the final with Vital Energi being crowned the winners.

The event at Princes Dock managed to raise over £25,000 for the chosen charity Claire House Children’s Hospice with the funds hoping to make a difference to help them continue to do their work.
