Philippine Dragonboat tragedy

Wednesday 25 September

The British Dragonboat Racing Association wish to offer our sympathies to the friends and families of the paddlers who have tragically lost their lives off the island of Boracay, in The Philippines. Dragonboating can be a dangerous sport, and this is sadly another reminder of that.
