WHAT WE ARE ABOUT
The Free Dragons are a recreational team that does not compete as a team in any offical dragon boat regatta.
We are a team suited for those who want to paddle in a fun, friendly and non-competitive environment where comradery and keeping/improving fitness and technique is our goal, or a stepping stone into a more competitive team.
For more on our philosophy, goals and limitations please have read of our manifesto found on the right hand side of this screen.
