Welcome to the 1st Annual Fairway Gorge X-Squared Women’s Dragon Boat Championships! Now including the FGPC XY Open 10-Seat Challenge!
X-Squared Women’s Dragon Boat Championships: A brand new 1-day 300m dragon boat festival for women’s teams!
This is a fun but competitive women’s only event, a first for Victoria! Races and festival activities will be held on and adjacent to Victoria’s beautiful Gorge Waterway. A variety of food choices, women’s music and other activities and fun for women will be available in the paddlers’ village area throughout the day. In addition, the 300-meter dragon boat races (a guaranteed 3 races per team) will result in gold, silver and bronze medals for championship and consolation finals. Click here to register
XY Open Division:
Bring a team of 10 paddlers (no stern required) to race off in our first X-Squared (+XY) Women’s Dragon Boat Festival. Paddlers are encouraged to show off their inner femininity to support the women’s teams, as they wish (be creative).
Teams will race twice against other open (X2 and/or XY) teams – once in a BUK and again in the Champion boats before advancing to the final medal rounds (in BUKs). Race times will be combined for an aggregate race time for placement, and the fastest teams advance to final race offs in the BUKs. Click here to register
Teams will be registered on a first come, first served basis; if registration fills before Friday, June 8, 2018 your crew will be waitlisted.
