NEARLY 50 rafts are ready to make a big splash at Monmouth Raft Race today, which starts at 12 noon and covers 6.5-miles downstream from the rowing club to Whitebrook.

Look out for a fishing trawler, the Minions, Maori warriors, Jammy Dodgers and even the Titanic - but whether the last one makes it all the way with an iceberg also entered remains to be seen.
