v3100 · 11-27-2006, 07:39 PM

The [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Club, now in it's 5th and most successful year of racing in Boston, Montreal, New York, San Francisco, and Pawtucket invites you for a couple of free practices on the ONLY TWO authentic dragonboats you'll find practicing on the beautiful Charles River from spring through fall.

Powered by exhausting practices, our competitive spirit, and a little muscle, the Dragon Boat Club of Boston's crews have medalled a total of SEVEN times in 2006! Scroll down to see our 2006 medal collection. Want in on the action? We want you in too! We're looking forward to the June 2007 Boston regatta where 2 of our 3 crews won the Hong Kong Cup Grand Prize and the First Place Prize in 2006.

What is dragon boat? It's like a cross between canoeing and crew but in these giant 20-person fiberglass boats. Here's a shot of us pulling out a narrow win in Montreal (we're Lane 1):
