Chilean Dragon Boat Association Inc. have the pleasure to announce our affiliation to City Dragon Paddling Club to continue with our dream.

The Chilean National Mixed team made it to 2 Semi Finals, the Premier Mixed 500m and 200m, obtaining a top 10 World Ranking.

Once in a life time opportunity to be part of a winning team, must be fit and prepared to work/train hard to succeed.

Dragon Boating is the mass participation paddle sport of today, with an ancient past and a very bright future. Not yet an Olympic sport but heading that way fast, Dragon Boat Racing is a "team sport", a very social sport and great fun too!

The Dragon has a very symbolic meaning for the Chinese. A classic dragon has the head of an ox; a deer’s antlers; the mane of a horse; the body and scales of a snake; the claws of an eagle and the tail of a fish. With its strength and power the Dragon rides the clouds in the sky and commands the wind, mist and rain.

As well as Sport Racing, Dragon Boat Associations have helped to develop the Festival Racing side of Dragon Boating too. Many Festival Races are successful due to the number of crews that enter just for the fun and excitement of the event.

Since we joined the IDBF in Sept 06 we have created a small, but very committed Dragon Boat Federation that grows on a weekly basis. Our first major goal is to compete in the Sept 2007 Sydney Dragon Boat Worlds

In the 1970s the Hong Kong Tourist Association (now Tourist Board) decided to stage an International Dragon Boat Festival to promote Hong Kong. In 1976 the first Hong Kong International Races took place, an event recognised today, by dragon boaters world wide, as the start of the "Modern Era" of Sport Dragon Boat Racing.
