Durham Region's first Breast Cancer Survivors Dragon Boat Team.
Dragon Boat Teams are made up of men, women, students and mixed teams of all abilities. Typically, twenty paddlers, a drummer and a steersperson make up a dragon boat team. The paddlers sitting in pairs, provide the power that drives the dragon boat through the water. The first three rows of paddlers are called the icebreakers". The middle rows are called the "engine room". The paddlers at the back of the boat are called the "rockets". The boat is of fiberglass construction, approximately 40ft. long and 3.5ft. at its widest point. Empty, the boat weights 750 lbs. and fully occupied the vessel weighs approximately 4000 lbs.
