Considering that this is the fastest growing team water sport in the world...it just might trap
your interest as well.About the author Bob has been writing books and online articles for
several years now. The townspeople raced out to try and retrieve him before the fish
ate on him, so now, festivals and dragon boat races are held all over the
world in commemoration (loosely) of this event.Dragon Boat Description Over the centuries dragon boats were
built in many sizes and shapes, and were used for both spiritual and competitive purposes.
Sport racing has very formal rules, while festival races are more informal.There are various classes
of races, by age and experience, from youth races to senior citizen, novice to professional,
all male, all female, and mixed crews. These races have grown in popularity dramatically in
recent years and it is now estimated that over 50 million people in 60 different
countries Nike Tn participate in these races around the world.PaddlesThe standard paddle used is of wood construction,
between 41 inches and 51 inches in length; has a 7-inch wide blade that is
squared off at the widest point; has a straight shaft, and a "T" grip that
is four inches wide. Although usually not considered a canoe, the dragon boat is the
largest craft in existence that uses detached paddles (instead of oars). Mythology was important in
China at the time, so the boats were built to appear as dragons...and they likely
developed gradually over the centuries into today's designs.The boats themselves were originally made from several
hollowed out logs lashed together, and the paddles were carved from trees.Common legend has it
that a Chinese poet named Qu Yuan committed suicide 2,500 years ago in the Miluo
River as a protest over government corruption at the time. Interestingly, boating with this design
of "canoe" nike tn is also the fastest growing team water sport in the world.OriginsIt seems that
dragon boating started in China perhaps as far back as 7,000 years ago. You can
check out his latest website at http://woodencanoepaddles.net/ which discusses several considerations when choosing the right
canoe paddle. As a result, two design standards were created:The standard Model 1222, which is
40 feet long and holds 20 paddlers (10 to a side), plus the "drummer" (or
caller) in the bow of the boat, and a "tiller" (steerer) in the stern of
the boat.The smaller Model 912, which is 30 feet long and holds from 8 to
12 people (10 paddlers, a drummer, and a tiller).These are the boats we see participating
today, although occasionally a festival will have an exhibition boat that holds up to 50
paddlers or so.RacesIn ancient China, dragon boat races were usually held at water festivals, and
the competition was sometimes physical in nature, with rocks and debris thrown at each other.
Throughout the years dragon boats have been built to hold from 8 paddlers to over
100 paddlers.In recent years, the International Dragon Boat Federation (IDBF) was formed to standardize on
dragon boat design. A swamped boat with drowning paddlers was considered the will of the
water dragon and a fair trade for valuable rainfall and healthy crops.Fortunately, today's races are
much more civilized, and the IBDF recognizes two basic forms of racing:Festival racing, which consist
of sprint races up to 500 meters.Sport racing, which is more for "professional" racers, with
race lengths up to 2000 meters. Obviously, "festival" racers see many kinds of paddles because
these races usually follow more informal rules.So, there you have a brief overview of dragon
boats. The boats apparently were built to represent water deities. You can check out this
