A unique team sport
Dragon Boating ?
The Dragon Boat is an ancestral craft that comes straight from an ancient Chinese legend. The Dragon Boat is around 12m long and 1m20 wide, and weighs between 250 and 300kgs. Dragon boating is a water-based activity for anyone who enjoys sports, the great outdoors, team spirit and conviviality. It doesn’t matter what age or physical condition you are, all you need is the ability to swim!
