dragonboat
Festival racing craft
A dragonboat is a long, narrow racing vessel paddled by a team of twenty or more rowers, with a drummer at the bow keeping rhythm.
The boats feature ornate dragon-head prows and are central to festivals originating in Chinese tradition but now held worldwide: Our company entered a team in the dragonboat races.
