Exeter’s Dragon Boat Racing Club
Welcome to the website of ExeCalibre
Dragon Boat Club.
What is Dragon Boat Racing?
Dragon Boat Racing is a fast growing water sport with origins
in China. The modern version of the sport sees highly decorated
12 metre long boats race over both short and long distances,
and is becoming extremely popular because of the fitness and
team-building benefits it offers.
Dragon Boat Racing differs from most other sports because even
the fastest crews do not rely exclusively on brute strength.
A technically good crew will always be superior to one based
on raw power. For this reason, the sport lends itself to those
who do not excel in 'traditional' sports, and is suitable for
men and women, young and old, large and small alike.
