ROWERS, canoeists, kayakers and stand-up paddleboarders took to the water as Hamble River Raid returned.

Now in its 13th year, the annual charity rowing and paddling race also raised money for the Hamble Sea Scouts.

Last year more boats than ever before took to the water for the races, with more than 100 vessels taking part.
