Ever gone past the Charles and wish you were on one of the boats making their way down the river? Here's your chance!
The Dragon Boat Club of Boston, a 2006 7-time medalist competitive Boston dragon boat team, now in it's 5th and most successful year of racing in Boston, Montreal, New York, Hartford, Pawtucket, Lowell, and San Francisco invites you to join our crews for a free paddle on the Charles in the only two authentic dragon boats you'll find on the river right now.
"In the next race, however, we won, and I began to think about taking up a new sport." - John Tracey, Rowing News
We want to gratefully thank John Tracey of Rowing News for riding along with us and for his writeup about us in the October 2006 edition of Rowing News! Read the article here: http://dbcb.org/media/RN_13-840-47.pdf
What is Dragonboating? It's like a cross between canoeing and crew, but in these giant twenty man fiberglass boats. This is us in Montreal pulling out a narrow win (we're in lane one):

Montreal International Dragonboat Festival
Olympic Basin, Parc Jean-Drapeau - July 23, 2006
If you're looking to meet some new people and get some good exercise or for a fun new activity to do we'd love to have you come out. Ability to swim is not required - we provide life jackets. We're looking for people with pretty much any level of physical fitness (no one has ever accused me of being a particularly strong guy) or experience.
We hold voluntary practices 3 times a week at the docks next to the Hatch Shell on the
Charles River Esplanade:
(April thru September)

* Sundays: 10AM
* Tuesday: 6PM
* Thursday: 6PM 

Swing by and check us out.
We're looking forward to the 2007 Boston Dragon Boat Festival where
2 of our 3 crews won the Hong Kong Cup Grand Prize and the First Place Prize
in 2006. Practices start in April - race with us!
