Ucluelet’s annual Ukee Days festivities wrapped up on Sunday with a build-your-own-boat race.

The annual NAIL, SAIL, BAIL event saw teams of four building a vessel at the Ukee Days fairgrounds from 2:30-4 p.m. and then paddle it in a race at Ucluelet’s Pat Lesley Memorial Boat Launch. The race kicked off at 5 p.m. and was 2018’s final Ukee Days event.

Jay Roberts, Adam Smallwood, Koen LeFevre and Phil Reimers paddled their ‘Cow Plow’ vessel past the competition to earn this year’s top honours.
