West Bay's famous RNLI Raft Race took place last night with 20 teams battling it out to become champion.

The race started and finished at Ire Pool on the River Brit and this year's race didn't disappoint with plenty of whacky and fun costumes worn by competitors.

The idea of course is to avoid sinking, capsizing, or falling, but not everyone managed it.

Check out our gallery to see if you can spot yourself on a raft or among the crowd.

The RNLI Raft Race began at West Bay in the 1960s by Ernie Hicks and aims to raise vital funds for the lifeboat service.

A further fundraiser - the biggest annual event from the Bridport branch - will be held on Wednesday, August 14, with a BBQ at Seatown Beach outside the Anchor Inn from 4pm.
