Dragon Boat West

Can someone PLEASE  post the results!  I was unable to come and watch this year and I am dying to know the final results.

ESPECIALLY TCC Epson Dragoneers!!!!!!

Thank you in advance to anyone who can post this info!

Regards,
Lisa (prevous TCC paddler)

i think tcc was in rec a or b.

Well, I'm unsure of their exact finishing spot but they were competing in the Rec. A Championship race.  They did not medal though.

They were in Rec A Final, I think they placed 8th.  It was all really close though.  I should have taken a picture of the results, argh...

Thank you for the info!  Rec A final.  That is great for TCC!  They might not have received any hardware but I bet they were having fun hitting the beer gardens and not having to worry about the final ceremonies!!!!

And idea how Pacific Reach, Roli mixed  and the False Creek men's  did?

Lisa

Comp A

1. FCRCC
2. Gorging
3. Pacific Reach


Comp C

1. LA Racing Dragons
2. RGL United
3. Eye of the Dragon

That's all I caught.

false creek men's swept the finals, roli did really well, but i'm not sure if they got top 3 or not though.   although i'm sure i'm wrong, i think it was fcrcc, pac, roli, dragonauts in the top 4 with fcrcc winning. 

the beer is talking righ tnow though.  :D

Does anyone know what happened with the Comp B re-race? I heard the announcement but had to leave before i could find out exactly what was going on.

if you mean why, it was because the dragonhead fell off the #2 boat (Scotia) so they protested and there was a re-race.  I can tell you who came in sixth (hmmm wonder why) but beyond that I didn't really take too much notice of the exact ordinals of the rest.

Wow that's pretty crazy  :shock:. It isn't all that surprising though, I was looking at those dragonheads yesterday and was thinking to myself that sooner or later one was gonna fall off. In the end did the rerace change any of the results?

does anyone know the officail rules for the requirements of re-race...

quite a few teams fell victim of the bad steers syndrome and got their festival flopped...


Hamber was raided by the GHS Pirates, then had to start from a dead boat, though they did catch up to some jr. teams.  But only got 10 seconds reduced time.

Btw, if anyone has the video/photos of the Hamber crashing race/finish, it would be great if you could share with me.

That was a fun race for my team Absolut Sake. Races like that are why we always love coming back to Vancouver. Now if we could just figure a way to medal in Rec A! This is like 3 years running that we have made it to Rec A Final, and nada.

Senna

FCRCC won mens placing 1(Ateam ) & 2(B team ) ,Roli placed 5th over-all inc a very fast gemini mixed divison .Kai just edged out Roli in the end ...very very close finish

 Top 5 mixed was :
 
 FCRCC
 Gorging
 Pac Reach
 Kai
 Roli

 Roli seniors did a awesome job this past weekend inc laying down a 1.56  ...not bad for a bunch of old people ,lol . FCRCC ..well what can I say ...they rock !
 
 

hard to say as there were no results released for the original race... we can only speculate.  I'd suspect it wasn't a whole lot different... but i was in an outer lane so i really couldn't say for sure

Thank you all for your info!!!  I feel so bad I missed it this year but I had to study.  How sad is that.

Paddleboy I think yer damn sexy and miss seeing your tight ass..........

 msn(:P)

that's a pretty good spread of teams in that rec a final

if someone got video of the Men's final, could you PLEASE email it to me/host it somewhere?  i wanna see that race from the finish line area. 

Speaking of Rec A championships, here's a couple shots from it:

wow, comp C finals were so close! it was such a fun race to watch

I agree.. I remember looking out from the docks (was in the comp B finals waiting for the gems to come in), and seeing Boat #1 just flying!!   That was awesome.   What a rush to see!

is the guts and glory results out yet?

Here's some photos of the Comp A finish:

My profuse apologies to Hamber for that collision, as lead paddle for the GHS Pirates I'm still unsure as to how that occurred. Whether it was lack of tiller experience with the Geminis, equipment malfunction (till break), or the boat itself (I heard boat six had other collisions and steerage problems), I would like to apologize as Captain and on behalf of the entire team to all all those affiliated with Hamber who read this, especially the paddlers. I hope it didn't ruin their regatta experience or taint their festival weekend. My congratulations to them for doing so well afterwards, in that race, and in the Jr. A Finals. I'm truly sorry once again.

Oh man that REC C race was so ridiculously close

There is a link on the forum to the Alcan results, including the Guts and Glory.  However, my team (Capital Iron Dragons) raced in G and G and we aren't ranked at all.....we aren't even listed!  What's up with that?  We were in lane 6 in the 6/16's.  Does anyone have any ideas where I could find out what happened?

Alcan race results:

Guts and Glory are on the last page.  Capital Iron is listed

From my point of view, the only difference between the results of first race and the re-race was that the boat with the dragon head problem came in 7th instead of last. All other placings were exactly the same.

that pretty much sums that whole situation up in a nutshell.  overall it was fair.  i think a bunch of us from each of the teams were just p***y after soaking up too much sun  :lol:

BOO rightarm!

 :mynig:

on a side note, i can't believe "iss" from the word p-i-s-s-y is bleeped.  that's just silly.

p***y

Here is a link to all the Alcan results including the Guts and Glory Final!

Oops... I meant the boat with the problem came in 8th and not 7th.
