dragon boats

Paddled festival vessels

Dragon boats are long, narrow canoes decorated with dragon heads and tails, paddled by teams of up to twenty rowers in synchronized rhythm.

They originated in ancient China and are now raced competitively worldwide, particularly during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Our company entered a team in the dragon boat races.
