Salford Dragon Boat Festival
The Salford Dragon Boat Festival is a mass participation, charity fund raising activity with a big difference … it’s great fun! Ideal for novice and experienced crews alike, no previous experience necessary. Each team will get full instruction on the day and dragon boating is both quick and easy to pick up. Each dragon boat is forty foot long and can hold a maximum 18 people at one time. Seventeen people (eight pairs of paddlers and a drummer) are made up of team members, whilst the eighteenth person is a qualified helm with the dragon boat events company. For a team to enter, the team must support a nominated charity and pay a team entry fee to the organisers. Each person in the team is expected to raise at least £50 in sponsorship for their team’s charity. Team sizes can range from fourteen people plus a drummer to twenty people (including reserves), the team entry fee being the same per team irrespective of final team numbers. Both men and women can compete on equal footing (so common you guys ... unless you are afraid of being beaten by a bunch of women!). Dragon boat races are run throughout the day over a short course of around 250 metres and each team is given a guaranteed (weather permitting) three timed races. After all three rounds of racing have been completed; each team’s single fastest time is then used for qualification into the Grand Final, which will be one last, dramatic and spectacular race to the finish using all the available dragon boats. It is a high energy, adrenaline pumping, fun day out for all – and you can be part of it too. More information and team entry forms on www.sdbf.co.uk
