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.

This is a good book, written by some of the top coaches in Canada and explains a lot of the aspects on coaching.  Maybe not the boat specs, but that can probably be Googled.

two books are recommended by right angle performance:

Paddles Up! - Dragon Boat Racing in Canada

If you get them from Kamini Jain, she may sign them for you.
