Dragon Boat Racing For Corporate Groups or Fundraising Events

How does the event work?

The key to Dragon Boat racing is timing, which makes this a superb team building activity.

The better the timing of the whole team, the faster the boat goes. Your day could be split with other activities to make a full team build day, or why not have an exclusive dragon boat event?

On a normal day teams would expect to take part in 3 heats with the best 8 teams going into 2 semi finals, then a grand 4 boat final. The heats could be on either a short course (approx 250M) or a long course (approx 450M).

On the day we will provide all equipment (including paddles and buoyancy aids), instruction, boat marshalling, safety boat cover, A race control centre in a marquee and a PA system to call teams to the loading area and commentate on the racing.

Our Dragon Boats are 30 or 40 feet long with 10 or 20 paddlers, a helm steering and a team member sat at the front beating the timing on a big drum.Your Dragon Boat race can include two boats racing side by side or up to 6 boats with just a couple of meters between each one. The more guests or teams you have the bigger the fun!
