Dragon boat races and festivals are held in 70 countries, but never before in Israel. This is about to change!

Dragon boat racing is the fastest-growing water sport in the world. Twenty paddlers, a drummer and a steersperson move in unison, combining strength with teamwork, in a boat whose elaborate design originates in ancient China.
