I just started paddling with the DCH dragon boat racing crew based in Queens, New York.
Background:
It started as a men’s crew in 1993 and has consistently been New York City’s Open Champion. DCH has since expanded to include women, mix, and junior crews and competes in both national and international events for the last 4 years. In June of 2000, the club competed at the infamous Hong Kong Dragon Boat Championship, finishing fifth in the Men’s international race final and sixth in the Mixed international race final. In 2001, DCH took gold in the Open class at the Montreal Dragon Boat Festival, the Competitive B Division Championship Final at the Vancouver Dragon Boat Festival, and the Open 250 meters Minor Final at the IDBF World Championships in Philadelphia as a member of the U.S. National Team.
