Dragon boat
What is it?
Dragon boating involves single blade paddling in a boat of up to 18 paddlers. It originates from the Far East but dragon boating is becoming a global canoe discipline, both in competition & recreationally. In dragon boat races, each boat has a drummer who helps the team maintain their timing by the beating of the drum and a helm to keep the boat running straight. The aim is to race over a clearly defined unobstructed course in the shortest possible time.
