- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 04:00 pm (+02:00)
- **Event Description**: Mark your calendar for April 18 and invite family and friends for this years fun filled event of spectacular floats racing around the harbour for cool prizes.

Anything That Floats is a fun race around the inside of the Old Harbour on (literally) 'Anything that Floats'!

The day is hosted by the Yacht Club in aid of Station 9 – located in the Old Harbour, Gordon’s Bay – because this is the NSRI station we call on (more often than we’d like to) to assist us when someone is in trouble.

You have two choices:
1. Gather a team and build a float, or 
2. Come alongside a team and support a float and enjoy the fun

Support a float
Choose a float on our social media. Scan the QR code, donate an amount towards their entry contribution by referencing the team name. All donations go straight to our local NSRI Station 9 at Gordon's bay.

Build a float
Get a team together, create a team name and build a float to compete in the races around the harbour for cool prizes.
And it really is fun!  Not many of the floats make it all the way and there is a great vibe in the harbour. 

ENTRY
The entry contribution is an unlimited (minimum R 350) donation to the NSRI and can be paid as follows: 

- Get family, friends colleagues and businesses to donate amounts on behalf of your team as described below.

- The team with the highest donations/sponsorship wins the main prize, and all teams will be entered in a lucky draw for more prizes.

- Team leaders are to supply proof of total donations to the Gbyc race committee on or before the race day.

- Send photos of your building process that we can place on social media so people can donate towards your entry. All contributions go to the NSRI.
