Dragon Boat

20 JUN 2022

Originating from China, dragon boat racing is a human-powered boat sport. For competitive events, dragon boats are typically rigged with decorative and colorful Chinese dragon heads and tails. In races, a standard boat consists of 20 paddlers, while a small boat consists of 10 paddlers, excluding the steersperson and drummer.
