Millenium dragon boats will not be used at this year’s Victoria Dragon Boat Festival. Instead, the festival will utilize D2s as they transition to more competitive hulls.

This is a positive step forward as Island paddlers, who have long been held back from exposure to sport level boats and competition, and the Victoria DB Festival Society board is to be congratulated.

D2s are featured at the Steveston Festival, and often seen in Pender Harbour as well. The hull design is similar to the 6-16s, and offers a more open, spacious interior than the Milleniums. Island paddlers should feel right at home in these boats.
