Chris Dransfield's toy duck, number 4422, came first in the race, winning $2500.

Central Coast Surf Life Saving chief executive officer Mr Chad Griffith said an enthusiastic and vocal crowd watched the race that was held on an outgoing tide and fresh south-easterly breeze at The Entrance Waterfront on Sunday, December 3.

Mr Griffith said that preliminary estimates were that over $48,000 had been raised through the event, to assist the 15 surf clubs and branch office in providing "essential lifesaving equipment and education programs across the Central Coast".
