The last weekend in November saw a lot of crowds and boats lining Boat Quay. This was the annual Singapore River Regatta. The race was a short 200 metres. While it was short, the competition was fierce with every team paddling their hardest to reach the finish line first. With over 80 boats competing in some categories, the weekend was exhilarating for everyone.
This year the Canadian Dragons had a great showing with 2 boats entered in most categories and the “B” boat in the National Championship Premier Mixed category placed third, receiving a Bronze medal for their efforts.
We are just starting our first season for 2012 and are eager to have new paddlers join us. There are some fun races building up to the Singapore Dragon Boat festival in late June where we will defend our Silver medal in the Inter International Business Community (expat race) category from July 2011.
If you are interested in joining our fun team, come out for training at Kallang Riverside Park. We train in the boat on Saturdays from 4:00 – 6:00, and Sundays from 10:00 – 12:00. Please come 30 minutes early to sign in, get kitted out – we have PDF’s and paddles, and to warm up. Hope to see you soon!
