There is room at the helm for the drummer and a space at the stern for the steersperson to stand. They are steered with what appears to be a long extended paddle sticking out the back of the boat. During race festivals, boats are also equipped with traditional drums. The beating of the drums adds to the excitement and spectacle as the boats battle against each other in a race for the finish line. Dragon boat racing is a relatively new sport in Australia. However it dates back to more than 2,000 years with its origins in China where the dragon boat festival commemorated the patriotic poet 'Qu Yuan' who drowned himself in protesting the corrupted government. To find out more about the history of the dragon boat festival click here Dragon boat teams are made up of 22 people - 20 paddlers, a drummer and a steersperson. Dragon boat racing is a sprint race which requires precise timing and technique to be combined with raw power. Racing distances vary between the 250 to 1000 metre range. Races are usually 500 metres long and can take anywhere between 2 to 3 minutes to complete. Dragon boat racing started in Sydney in 1984 and there are now over 20 clubs in and around the Sydney area. The governing body of dragon boating in NSW is Dragon Boats NSW Inc. DBNSW Inc's primary goal is developing the sport and fostering the cultural traditions of dragon boat racing.

    Extractions: Official equipment supplier to the Canadian International Dragon Boat Festival Welcome! Dragon boat enthusiasts like you have visited this page This web page will be revised frequently. Come back and visit us often (Best viewed at 800x600) Help curb "knock-off" hulls - an appeal While imitation may be a form of compliment, copying someone's boat lines (worse yet, making copy by way of moulding knock-off's) is just LOW . Anyone cares to invest some effort can learn enough canoe basics from the library to design very usable dragon boat hulls; there's simply no excuse to steal. Six-Sixteen will take all legal actions available to discourage such practice. However, there is much that the dragon boating community can do that is more grassroots, and the impact more immediate. do not buy copy/knock-off hulls (canoes, outriggers, dragon boats etc).Question the origin of the hull design before purchasing. Why support the practice of illegal pirating, and ruin your own reputation in the process? Let your conscience guide your purchase. Paddlers: do the righteous thing - boycott festivals/clubs that use copy/knock-off hulls. There are so many festivals around that you can enter, why hand over your paddling dollars to people that have no integrity?

No prior experience is necessary to race dragon boats! The important thing to have is a competitive spirit and the ability to work together as a team. Synchronicity is more important than strength. What is the purpose of the festival and regatta? The purpose of the annual Dragon Boat Festival and regatta is to promote the sport and tradition of dragon boat racing, sharing this dramatic aspect of Asian culture with the greater Houston community. In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival will showcase the remarkable renovations happening along our own Buffalo Bayou. Proceeds from the festival and regatta will go towards promotion of dragon boat racing in Texas and charitable activities (e.g., The Rose ). It is also a way of encouraging Houstonians to become more physically fit, while enjoying the outdoor opportunities of our city.

39. Dragon Boat - News/ SHARE
    dragon boating is an ancient Chinese sport dating back more than 2000 years. Since that time, the dragon boating movement has grown to include over 600 women.  
    http://cope.uicc.org/share/pages/groups/dragon.htm
    
    Extractions: By Eleanor Nielsen, Canadian Cancer Society More than 18,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in Canada. Over half of them are fortunate to survive and go on to lead long lives. But many of the thousands of survivors are constrained by advice to avoid strenuous, repetitive upper body exercise, for fear of developing lymphedema. In 1996, Dr. Don McKenzie, a sports medicine specialist in Vancouver, set out to challenge the generally accepted guideline and formed the first dragon boat team solely composed of women living with breast cancer. Dragon boating is an ancient Chinese sport dating back more than 2000 years. It is full of mythology based on man's struggle with nature and lifesaving metaphors. It was introduced to Canada at the 1986 Vancouver Exposition, and has rapidly become the fastest growing adult team sport in the country. Most teams are composed of young, fit adults. When the first breast cancer survivor team, Abreast in a Boat, participated in the annual Vancouver Dragon Boat Race Festival in 1996, it was indeed an unexpected addition.
