Opua Community Regatta
Opua’s annual community regatta on Sunday featured the usual eccentric mix of dog swimming races, raft races and novelty kayak competitions as well as a market and food stalls. Funds raised go to Opua School and Opua Community Hall. The winner of the small dogs category was miniature fox terrier Jessie, owned by 13-year-old Brad Batterton of Opua, while the fastest big dog was Stefi, a Hungarian Vizsla cross owned by Hamish Anderson of Opua. A family team called Double Trouble won the raft race for the third year in a row. Photos by Peter de Graaf.
