MUMBLES: Raft race returns for 40th anniversary as event prepares to showcase revamped seafront
The race takes place on Saturday 19 July, starting and finishing at Knab Rock at noon. Teams compete on homemade rafts — often elaborately costumed — paddling a course off the Mumbles seafront while spectators line the promenade.
The event was first held in the 1980s and has run most years since, becoming one of the most recognisable fixtures on the Mumbles summer calendar. Last year’s race was cancelled due to bad weather, making the 40th anniversary edition all the more anticipated among organisers and regulars alike.
At the most recent event to go ahead, teams collectively raised more than £10,000 for the RNLI. Organisers are aiming to surpass that figure this year, with the milestone anniversary expected to draw larger crowds and more entries from across South Wales.
Teams and their homemade rafts line up at the start of a previous Mumbles Raft Race, with spectators packed along the seafront.
(Image: RNLI / Adam Gilbert)Tony Bowen, a Mumbles RNLI crew member and one of the race organisers, said the event had become a cornerstone of the local community.
“The raft race is a big part of Mumbles,” he said. “It’s a great day where people get together, laugh and support the RNLI. Reaching 40 years is a real milestone, and every pound raised helps us carry on saving lives at sea.”
This year’s event will take place against the backdrop of Mumbles’ transformed seafront. Swansea Council’s coastal flood defence scheme, which has reshaped the promenade over several years of construction, gives spectators clear sightlines along the bay — making it one of the most watchable settings the race has had in its four-decade history.
Alongside the racing, the day will include a lifeboat demonstration giving the public the chance to see the station’s vessels in action close up, water safety advice, choral entertainment, and further shoreside activities suitable for families.
Mumbles RNLI’s all-weather lifeboat Roy Barker IV (RNLI 16-27) alongside the station’s inshore lifeboat at Mumbles Pier — both vessels will feature in a demonstration at this year’s raft race. (Image: RNLI / Adam Gilbert)The RNLI’s Mumbles station has one of the longest histories of any lifeboat station in Wales. A lifeboat was first placed at Mumbles in 1835, provided by the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck, with management later taken over by the RNLI in 1863. The station now operates from Mumbles Pier and covers the waters of Swansea Bay and the Gower Peninsula year-round.
The charity relies entirely on donations. Every pound raised through events like the raft race goes directly towards funding crew training, equipment, and callout costs at stations across the UK and Ireland.
The race is organised by the Mumbles Lifeboat Crew Association (MLCA), a volunteer-led fundraising body that supports the station, with backing from Mumbles Community Council and local volunteers.
Teams and individuals wanting to enter can email [email protected] or call 01792 361268. No specialist experience is required — previous entries have ranged from corporate teams to community groups, all building their own rafts before race day.
The event is free to watch and open to all. Organisers say the revamped promenade makes this year’s race particularly accessible for families, those with pushchairs, and spectators with mobility needs.
Entries are open now. More information is available at [email protected] or by calling 01792 361268.

‘I LOST MY BOAT, NOT MY LIFE’: Dramatic 6m sea rescue for solo sailor after maiden voyage from Swansea turns into ‘action movie’ nightmare
Max, a Forces veteran and former Helicopter Winch Operator, had expected a challenging but fun trip to Scotland aboard his newly purchased 30ft yacht, a 1975 Carter 30.
Despite his extensive safety preparations—including dual autopilots, AIS, and extra safety lines—nature had other plans for his maiden voyage.
Shortly after entering the Bristol Channel, the “nice sailing” conditions evaporated as unexpected gale warnings and ferocious 40-knot gusts tore across the water.
The situation turned critical when the vessel’s engine faltered, filling the compartment with smoke and leaving 200 litres of sooty water sloshing below deck.
“I didn’t want to enter Milford Haven at night as I wasn’t familiar with the VTS there,” Max recalled. “I really didn’t want to be in a rescue situation in total darkness.”
As dawn broke, Max made the life-saving decision to call for help while he still had power and some control over the rolling boat.
The Angle RNLI lifeboat arrived in the middle of a “confusing” sea state, but the drama was only just beginning.
While under tow, a violent wave sent Max flying into the cockpit, injuring his back, before another massive roller tipped him into the freezing water.
Thankfully, he was still attached to the boat by his safety line—a feature he had meticulously fitted before leaving Swansea.
“It was like something out of an action movie,” Max said. “The waves were crashing over our heads, and my feet were slipping against the boat’s propeller.”
In a daring move, an RNLI crewman cut Max free and inflated his lifejacket, allowing him to be hauled to safety aboard the lifeboat.
Reflecting on the loss of his vessel, Max said: “I am forever grateful to HM Coastguard and the lifeboat crew, who showed such skill, compassion, and humanity. I lost my boat, but I didn’t lose my life.”
Max’s Top Solo Sailing Advice
CategoryActionPreparationSafety equipment only helps if it’s fitted, tested, and ready before you leave.LifejacketsWear your lifejacket correctly and fit cleats, hooks, and lines today, not tomorrow.MindsetStay calm and think methodically. Panicking wastes time and energy.CommsHave backups. Carry a mobile phone, a VHF radio, and items like SARTs and EPIRBs.Advise OthersTell people your plans, routes, and timings so they can raise the alarm. #AngleRNLI #BoatingSafety #BristolChannel #HMCoastguard #Max #RNLI #SeaRescue #SoloSailing #Swansea #yacht -

On call this Christmas: West C... -
On the night of the 19th December 1981, in horrendous storm conditions, the mini-bulk carrier ‘Union Star’ suffered engine failure east of the Wolf Rock. Refusing tug assistance, the ship found itself being swept towards the coast at Boscawen Point, west of the Tater-du lighthouse. The Penlee lifeboat launched from Mousehole in total darkness, 100 mph winds and waves cresting to 60 feet.
Listen from 39:30.
The last communications of the lifeboat #SolomonBrowne trying to rescue a ship in 60 foot waves during the #PenleeLifeboatDisaster.
The frantic calls from Falmouth Coastguard trying to contact them.
Don't forget that everyone of these people is a volounteer.
Give the #RNLI your fucking money 🙂
