What is dragon boating?
With its roots in ancient Chinese legend, dragon boating is a traditional canoe discipline with immense popularity in the world over at both the recreational and competitive levels. The Chinese dragon – the classic version of which has the head of an ox, antlers of a deer, mane of a horse, body of a python, claws of a hawk and fins and tail of a fish – decorate the bow and stern of the long, narrow craft. The hull of the vessel is often painted with scales to represent a dragon’s body and the paddles symbolise its claws. The dragon boat is powered by a crew of either 10 or 20 paddlers, helmed by a coxswain and led by a drummer.
