Title: Looking for technical information on dragon boating Post by: Bloody Pirate on August 13, 2010, 03:06:36 PM Gals and Guys,
I am looking for a book(s) magazines, etc that might have information on the technical side of dragon boating. This would include best practices for paddler placement in boats (according to boat used, weather, type of water, etc). Weight and specifications on the different style boats (6-16, BUK, Dynasty, etc). Height and weight of paddlers and their placement in the boat. And how all these variables affect each other. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Maybe not the boat specs, but that can probably be Googled.
