Rotary River Event

The Longbow Canoe Festival regularly involved a dozen or so crews, each of 12 canoeists. Racing took place on the high tide over a period of approximately 4 hours. Longmarsh was a buzzing place. The Festival was managed on the shore side by Totnes Rotary Club and on the water by Canoe Adventures (initially by Phil Sheardown and Flip Williams, then by Hal Gillmore and his colleagues). Races were held annually between 2011-2018.
