While the kayak race is underway, all raft race participants must build their own damsel using materials provided by the RNLI.
🔧 Important:
Pre-made damsels are not permitted
Creativity is key – the best damsel creators will win a stunning prize after the race!
Once built, damsels will be transported by RNLI volunteers to the harbour side, where they’ll make a final leap into the water before the main event.

The raft race event will begin as soon as all damsels are complete and kayakers are safely ashore.
