3 trophies before cancelaations due to the weather!

Published Mon 24 Feb 2025

We have had a lot of fun over the weekend at the Chinese Lunar New Year Regatta held at Docklands. The weather was challending, to say the least - Saturdays racing was cancelled (except for the Corpotae racing) due to forcast heat. Sunday was windy and so racing was difficult until a storm cell blew up and forced cancellation early in the afternoon. But our smaller than usual group took on the challenge and bagged 3 trophies to bring home! Thankyou to Mick and Paddy who team manged on the day and Mick Paddy and kim who coached everyone to a competive level! Thank you to Dragon Masters Dragon Boat Club for their positive feedback and encouragement to a young regional team! Thank you to our President- who does so much in the background! Thank you Coaches!
