The Dragon Boat Racing is one of the most exciting sports scheduled for the multi-sports festival, Cape Town Corporate Games later this year which is expected to attract thousands of competitors across South Africa.
On Thursday 21 February 2013, 3rd South Africa, Official License Holder of Corporate Games South Africa, is challenging companies in a Dragon Boat Challenge to battle it out on the sea and experience first hand what the Cape Town Corporate Games is all about.
The Dragon Boat Challenge is the perfect opportunity for companies to network on a different platform, encouraging friendly rivalry in a race against each other and to reconnect through sport for fun and friendly competition, networking opportunities and social activities.
Companies who have confirmed paddlers into the fun-filled challenge include the likes of Barloworld Motors, Sanlam, Intergest, RedBull, 24.com, Cape Media, Pioneer Foods, NCC Environmental Services, Allan Gray, Cape Grace Hotel, Tsogo Sun Hotels, Evolv Networks and City of Cape Town Fire Rescue Services just to name a few.
These human-powered water-crafts are long and slender with decorated dragon heads and tails which are navigated by 12-16 rowers to the beat of heavy drums.
There will be three Dragon Boats in one race to determine who has what it takes to represent their company in the winning crew. On arrival, guests will be mixed up into 3 teams to row against each other, each company will have 3 to 4 participants and there is no costs involved for the dragon boat practice session.
3rd South Africa, Official License Holder of Corporate Games South Africa, will be arranging regular practice sessions to assist companies to train leading up to the Cape Town Corporate Games taking place from 06-09 June 2013.
Companies crews will be taught the techniques, commands and paddlers tips, ensuring that they are well prepared and synchronized for the race in the Cape Town Corporate Games. A perfectly synchronized, team will almost always beat a stronger, but less coordinated team.
