VCKC’s 2011 Guts and Glory Festival

Congratulations to VCKC for taking the lead in providing IDBF-certified hulls and dragon boat competitions of both over and under 500 meter distances - it’s an action that’s long overdue!

The Champion G3 Model 912 dragon boats used during this event were acquired by Victoria’s Gorging Dragons, the club that announced their high performance training program for Vancouver Island paddlers on August 13th.  It’s wonderful to know that IDBF-certified boats are finally going to be available for high performance training on Vancouver Island, and hope that Island teams take full advantage of the opportunity to take it to the next level.
