Women's False Creek Regatta

On May 28th the Sunshine Coast Dragon Boat Club sent two teams to participate in the False Creek Women's Regatta: The Sunshine Dragons Abreast Team and The Sea Gals. In keeping with tradition both teams were all decked out in costumes. The Sunshine Dragons Abreast Team were a sight in their pink Burlesque Dancer costumes and The Sea Gals won third place for their Pirate Queen costumes. The weather was great with the rain holding off and the sun appearing later in the day. Each team participated in four 500 meter races and many, many thanks to Rudy Van Egdom for steering for both team.

MacKenzie Mussels

On May 14th The MacKenzie Mussels participated in the False Creek Mixed Regatta. Conditions were challenging with lots of wind and heavy currents. The Mussels paddled in 5 races and were a tired but happy crew. Well done, Mussels.

Club Members Vote Yes for the Mini Dragon Boat

Since April 4th the Sunshine Coast Dragon Boat Club has had the loan of a ten-man mini dragon boat. During the last six weeks all teams have had the opportunity to try this smaller boat. It has come in handy when either too many or too few paddlers want to paddle at the same time. This week all club members had the opportunity to vote on whether or not the club should purchase one of these boats. The vote was overwhelmingly in favour of adding to our fleet which consists of the 'Sir John' and the 'Lady Sally'. Plans will now begin for fundraising, insurance, storage, and the naming of the new boat.
