The
Antibes Raft Race
is back! It is ten years since the Antibes Raft Racers took to the
waters of Port Vauban, creating Mayday mayhem in late April on their
home-made whacky crafts. The Raft Race Team have lashed it together one

pleasure port. The fun starts at noon Saturday 21st April
2012 at the International Yacht Club d’Antibes, Port Vauban.
The party continues in the evening at Rio’s Banana Café on Port
Camille-Rayon in Golfe-Juan with the
'TITANIC' Fancy Dress Party. |
