The 2009 race took place on Saturday, 5th September. Nearly 300 boats took part this year, most raising money for charity. Some teams are very serious, some more lighthearted. Please find below a selection of photographs taken as the boats passed through Richmond on their way to the finish line near Ham House. There’s no text to this post, just the pictures. Click on a photo in the gallery to see it full size.

Thanks to the good folk of the Richmond Venturer for providing a superb photography platform, moored as she was just upstream of Richmond Bridge
