Over twenty teams from across the country competed in this year's jubilee edition.
Prizes were awarded for the most imposing vessels, but each team had to prove that it was capable of staying afloat, with the boats having to sail a stretch of the River Netta.
This year, spectators were able to savour a variety of eye-catching vessels, including one modelled on the Yellow Submarine of Beatles fame, a viking boat and a ferocious dragon.

The winning team was presented with a prize of PLN 10,000. The vessel, inspired by The Tranformers, was designed by Marek Ławniczak.
The event was organised by Radio Białystok, together with the town of Augustów. (nh)
