The dragon boat can sit up to 22 paddlers with one drummer and one steer person. So, we can have up to 24 people on a boat at a time. The Drummer set the rhythm for the paddlers and keep them focus by calling out different drill.

Dragon Boat racing is lots of fun and we, the Chinese people, have been racing dragon boats for thousands of years. I am very proud to be part of this tradition.

I don't have a picture of the boat that we raced on yesterday, but I can give you guys a taste of what a naked dragon boat looks like:



This is a picture of what fully dressed dragon boats look like at a big festival.
