The brightly elongated canoes glide quickly
through the V&A Waterfront to the consis-
tent beat of the onboard drum.
The 18 paddlers row in unison as they glide their
“dragons” through the choppy waters in hopes of
crossing the finish line first.
This is the scene you would expect to see on a
river in a small Asian village. Instead, the scene
plays itself out at the Waterfront, where a group of
yooungsters from all over Mitchell’s Plain are
among a growing number of enthusiasts, who put
shoulder to paddle over weekends, trying to per-
ferct the art of dragonboat racing.
The sport, which originated in China, has been
a part of the city scene for more than 12 years, says
Moegsien Jacobs, from Lentegeur.
Jocobs, a director of the Sikho-Sonke Youth
Development Agency said dragonboat racing was
one of his organisation’s ongoing outreach pro-
gramme.
Jacobs said that he has been involved with drag-
onboat racing since 2003 and is the co-ordinator of
the All Star Dragons.
“About 80% of my paddlers are pupils at Spine
Road High,” he said.
The All Stars was among a number of teams
from Mitchell’s Plain and other areas who took part
in last month’s Youth Day Regatta, at the Water-
front.
