BATH TUB RACE
Jimmy Case started the 2000 Adur Bath Tub Race.
The River Adur hosts one of the most important events in Shoreham-by-Sea and Sussex when about a hundred cast iron bath tubs race from Bramber to New Shoreham in the annual race. Often mentioned in the press as a wacky race, it is far superior to raft-races because the craft based on cast iron baths have to be constructed to precise rules (craft that exceed the dimensions are disqualified). There are no rules on the method of human-powered propulsion and pedal machines can sometimes nearly compete with rowers.
Although the race is slightly less popular than its heyday in the early 1980s, the banks of the river will be lined on both sides several deep with spectators for the 4 miles in a football match sized crowd. One of the best vantage points is the Toll Bridge, but WSCC have still not repaired the bridge, which is obstructed by the temporary barriers.
Bath Tub Race
15 July 2000
The RNLI craft crewed by the Huxtable Brothers (Jim Partridge was not rowing this year on medical advice) came in first in 1 hour 6 minutes 23 sec followed closely behind by last years winners the Martin Brothers in the Hills tub.
It was an overcast day and with an early start at 12:45 pm (on a much earlier date*) the crowd was only about a quarter of normal years. The early date meant the tide was not as high and the eighth or ninth tub in got stranded on the mussel beds opposite Ropetackle and struggled to refloat in the main stream of the Adur.
The record time was 1 hour 2 minutes.
(* best available date for the tides. )

Total Eclipse of the Sun over Cornwall c.11.11 am
Partial Eclipse at Shoreham-by-Sea, figures (unofficial):
9.30 am 40000 Lux 10.00 45000 ¤ 10.38 35000 10.48 32000 10.54 30000 11.02 21000 ¤ 11.07 13000 11.09 11000 ¤ 11.10 10000 11.13 5000 11.16 4000 ¤ 11.22 11.25 6000 The difference between 4000 Lux and 500 Lux is about 4 aperture stops on a camera settings. There was still enough light to take a photograph, like an overcast day or a prelude to a thunderstorm.
On a clear day, the temperature in the sun varied from 25° C at 10.00 am to 18° C at the maximum amount of the eclipse.
The Hills team crewed by the Martin (Tony &
Jon) Brothers won in a time of 1 hour 10 min, about a minute ahead of the
RNLI tub crewed by Jim Partridge and Peter Huxtable, who had won for the
previous 9 years.
The race took place in a 29° C heatwave,
with a southerly breeze, and was started by Sally Gunnell.
