The brisk temperatures didn't deter the teams competing in the crazy raft race in Scarborough Boxing Day.

There were the usual hi jinx at the start line with eggs and flour being thrown at those taking part before they set off on their rafts to take on the route round the harbour.

Closing in on the finish.
