Dragon Boat

Fletch87

Hi folks,

Just wondering has anyone got experience or plans for building a dragon boat? Looking for a new project for a group of lads to work on (and hopefully time trial in) over the summer.

I take it you mean one of these http://www.woodenboatcentre.com.au/Catalogue/Dragon_Boats.htm If so get in contact with these they might be able to help http://www.dragonboat.ie/about-us/ Or you can buy them online http://www.selway-fisher.com/Opcan17.htm#DRAGON

And not one of these http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=238

Haha, you got it right the first time. Some great info there.

Thanks

Looks like an easy build one you could design yourself unless you wanted to race, if you need any help with sourcing the right plywood and epoxy give me a shout and I will try and help out, maybe in the sailing & boating forum with a link here to anyone that wants to follow the build.

It definitely looks do-able. I'll be trying to get a couple more lads interested and hopefully we'll get it on the water to see is there much of an appetite locally.

I'll keep you updated on how we get on. Thanks again!
