Dragon Boating at Manvers Waterfront Boat Club

Dragon Boat Racing is one of the world’s fastest-growing participation sports. It is a whole-body workout that builds strength, stamina, and endurance. Whether you are looking to improve your strength and fitness, push your limits, meet new people, try something new and fun, any, or all the above, THIS is the sport for you!​

​​The Dragon Boat is deeply embedded in China’s ‘Dragon’ culture, with each Boat having an ornately carved dragon’s head at the Bow and a tail in the Stern. The Hull is painted with the Dragon’s scales. The paddles symbolically represent the claws. There are generally 18-20 paddlers per Standard size Dragon Boat, plus a drummer and a helm (Steerer).

​Introduction
Here at Manvers Waterfront Boat Club we have our very own dragon boat team called 'Team Manvers Dragons'. Created in July 2019, they entered their first British Dragon Boat Racing Association (BDA) league events later in the summer. They also took part in the at the blue ribbon BDA National Championship event held at Nottingham where they successfully gained a third prize despite having only being formed a couple of months previously.​ More recently they came third at the Nationals in 2021!

Sponsorship ​

Team Manvers Dragons DBRC does not currently have a permanent sponsor and would welcome any enquiry from businesses who could help support in any way large or small. In return we would be very proud to promote our local businesses during our many exploits.
Team Manvers Dragons DBRC is a vibrant and rapidly growing well established organisation that is registered with the British Dragon Boat Racing Association (BDA).
As well as training all year round at Manvers lake, Team Manvers Dragons DBRC is a regular sight on the lake. We try to organise annual Charity Dragon Boat Racing events on the lake, take part in race events all over the country and provide team building sessions for local employers, scout troops and youth clubs.

Why sponsor Team Manvers Dragonboat Racing Club?
Sponsoring Team Manvers Dragons DBRC could bring your organisation many benefits:
  • Increased brand awareness
Our 12-metre-long boat is used for training sessions all year round as well as numerous charities, corporate and racing events. The unusual nature of the boats draws attention wherever they go, especially during transit.
  • Involvement with a truly inclusive brand
Many sports teams tend to have predominately male or female members of a similar age and ability. Team Manvers Dragons has men and women of all abilities aged from 11 to 63 who train and race in the same boat. Unlike many sports, Dragon Boat Racing is open to everybody, with the best crews being those that work together as a team.
  • Supporting a growing sport
Dragon Boat Racing is the second largest participation sport in the world and is growing quickly in the UK. For a cost comparable to the sponsorship of a local football team, Team Manvers Dragons DBRC can offer your brand national exposure that will grow year on year without any additional investment.
  • Sponsorship options to suit all budgets ​
Sponsors can choose to have their logo emblazoned on everything from paddles and racing shirts to an entire Dragon Boat, the logo will remain visible for the lifespan of the item.
