Our local tech college (Georgia Tech) has had a Bathtub Race for years. It's motorized and on land, although they used to enter bathtubs back when the Chattahoochee River Raft Race was still run.

Those guys at Nanaimo are serious. Speed tubs.

"Those guys at Nanaimo are serious Speed tubs"

Unfortunely the Nanaimo Bath Tub Races were concelled a few years ago due to a combination of lack of funds and Coast Guard regs.

There used to be Tug races in Nanaimo until a couple of Tugs sunk by exeeding their hull speed. The Tug race was the last of the great work boat races in Canada.
