We are women of all shapes and sizes, ages, and various levels of fitness but we all share a common bond of being survivors. We welcome men also who have had breast cancer.

Don’t know what a dragon boat is? Well, it is 12m in length and wide enough for paddlers to sit side by side. A full crew is 20 paddlers, a drummer (keeps the beat and timing) and a sweep (steers the boat). When ‘fully dressed’ the boat has a head and tail – used for demonstrations and competitions.

We train in Lindisfarne Bay out of the Rowing Club, but we also venture further afield paddling on Lake Barrington, the Derwent at New Norfolk and have competed in New Zealand, Florence (Italy), Caloundra, Ngambie, Canberra, Singapore, Vancouver and Peterborough (Ontario) as individuals or teams.
