ABOUT THE GRANDRAGONS:
The Grandragons, the first mixed seniors dragon boat racing team formed in Canada began in 1997 with a group of seniors who wanted to keep fit and have fun doing it. They opted for dragon boating because it was physically challenging and looked likes fun. They were right! Based in Vancouver’s False Creek, the Grandragons, who range in age from 55 to 76, have taken a lead role in promoting senior’s dragon boat racing on the West Coast of Canada and the U.S. Over the years, the team has developed into a strong competitor at dragon boat festivals, usually finishing in the top two in senior events and in the top third in competition with younger teams in recreational division events. In the 2002 Northern California Dragon Boat Championships, held in San Francisco, the team placed third in open competition in the recreational division.
Now grown to two full boats of paddlers – Grandragons and Grandragons Too – the team is expanding to include a third boat, as yet unnamed.
