There was no need for organisers to pull the plug on today's hotly-contested on-water action at the 2014 Bowentown Bath Tub Regatta, with former Cyclone Lusi nowhere in sight.

Postponed from its original date in February due to Lusi, the 11^th annual regatta sees bath tub racers sprint across Tauranga Harbour in Bowentown at speeds of up to 40km\h.

All proceeds from the event go towards Waihi Beach Coastguard.

SunLive photographer Daniel Hines was there to capture some of the action.
