Last Saturday's Heybridge Regatta was the first event in two years, but that certainly hadn't dampened anyone's competitive spirits, as they battled it out in a number of contests.

Marie Ellis, Chairperson of the Heybridge Basin Regatta Committee, told Nub News she was very pleased with this year's event.

She said: "It's been fantastic - really good.

"Next year, I think we'll try to make it a bit bigger, and definitely better."

All the profits made at this year's regatta will be split three ways: installing defibrillators around the village, maintenance for St George's Church Hall, and a replacement for the pontoon which got destroyed in Storm Eunice. All the causes were chosen by the village, and Marie hopes the regatta has raised lots of money for them.

Here are all the competitions, categories, and winners:
