Originating from China over 2000 years ago, Dragon boats are 12 meters long decorated with a traditional dragons head, tail and drum. Each boat can have between 10 and 16 paddlers providing the power, a drummer to beat a steady rhythm, and a helm to steer. The dragons are raced against each other in a spectacular energetic display.
