Me too. Also in no particular order ...

Capital Iron
Dragonauts
Sweet & Sour
Xtreme Reach

Some notable absenses this year: GD's, Navy, and those pesky outrigger paddlers who usually kick everyone's butts in this event!

There are some strong hungry teams who have a great chance of getting into the final. (PI, Steam Heat, BluByU, etc.) And who knows what to expect from some teams who haven't competed much yet this season.  It'll be a good contest.

Regular looking Dragon boat, there is however a bulkhead that runs fore and aft down the centre of the boat. (About 6" wide) This can cause sore shins for the steersperson if they are not used to haveing one there.  The bulkhead has a cutout for your feet to go in which brings your shins right up against it.  Other than that, they steer just like any other dragonboat.
