Annual Leigh Raft Race

The Matakana Volunteer Fire Brigade made it a trifecta after convincingly paddling home first and second in the annual Leigh Raft Race, held at Matheson Bay on March 23.

Leigh Fire Brigade had high hopes of overturning Matakana’s two-year winning streak, but it was not to be.

Seven homemade vessels contested the race, under the watchful eye of impartial judge Bill Rutherford.
