Side events Drachenboot-Rennen

20 paddles, one boat, one rhythm—if anyone dips their paddle too early or too late during a dragon boat race, it slows down the entire team. It’s all about synchronization. Rowing a dragon boat brings people together like few other activities can. After a brief technical briefing by experienced guides, the race begins with timing and commentary. An exciting competition that can take place on various bodies of water in Tyrol.

Description

The goal of this competition is to move forward together in a perfectly coordinated paddling rhythm and to build up a lead over the other teams. After a short technique introduction by experienced guides, the participants take their places and gain a feel for the boat during the first attempts. It quickly becomes clear that the constructions have their quirks and provide additional excitement. After a short acclimatization phase and a trial run, the actual regatta begins. In several exciting heats, several boats compete against each other simultaneously. With every race, ambition and team spirit rise, until finally after several rounds the winning team is determined. The team size is between 14 and 16 people.
