The 4-seater dragon boat at the must have been the most ridiculous thing i've ever seen in dragonboat racing. It's small, it's so cramp that the guys usually take one per row and sit on alternating sides. It's difficult to control, coz the coxswain's got to cox using the paddle and not a proper rudder which is attached to the boat. Which means the coxswain's gotta sit and not stand. Oh and the races were 200m only. Practically just do a starts and charge immediately after.
Thank goodness the Chinese Garden Races was the first and last time i ever saw those boats.
