sport ohAkEA’S ‘RounD ThE WoRLD’ RAFT RACE by Ash Foote, pT Flight on a typically beautiful Manawatu day earlier in the year, five teams set out on the ohakea ‘Round the world’ raft race at lake william. Teams had designed and made their own rafts, with everything from the simple combination of tyre tubes and planks, through to more elaborate—but possibly less successful—creations. Teams had two paddling crews who had to complete two laps of the track each; this was not as easy as it seemed! within the first five minutes team ‘Avionics Somali Pirates’ had major equipment failure and spent the majority of their first lap swimming instead of paddling! Team ‘S&S NZ’ had high spirits, even though their raft was not visible above the water, after lap number one! The slow but steady ‘lSS Ninja’s’ and ‘cIS/Medical Indians’ 36 Air Force news proved that sticking with the good ol’ tyre tubes and planks was the way to go. but, the team that powered ahead from the start was the ‘Mexican Armourers’ with their plastic-wrapped tyre tube creation. by the end of the race there were broken paddles, submerged rafts, and soaked team members, but spirits were still high and everyone managed to have a laugh. ‘S&S NZ’ and ‘Avionics Somali Pirates’ didn’t quite make it to the finish but provided some good entertainment for the crowd. Thanks to all those who participated! results: winners: Mexican Armourers Second & best Raft: lSS Ninjas Third: ‘cIS/Medical Indians’ wooden Spoon: Avionics Somali Pirates The Mexican Armourers
