A dragon boat is a 44 foot-long water craft that seats 20 paddlers. Paddlers sit side by side in 10 rows and use a single paddle to propel the boat. A steers-person stands in the back of the boat and a drummer leads from the front. Dragon boats originated centuries ago in China. Today, there are dragon boat races throughout the world.
