(Chix With Stix, Nanaimo, BC)

Nightstar received such great feedback having our 9m Champion dragon boats on Sproat Lake that we thought  a 9m Sprint Challenge here on the Island would be a great idea.

These 10-paddler boats are fast, fun and maneuverable, and we think it would be great to arrange a competitive circuit.

Nightstar Yacht Sales, which own four of these boats, would provide the boats at an attractive rate, and do everything it can to promote the series.
We’re thinking initially of four events, in Victoria, Port Alberni, Comox and Nanaimo.

Classes would conform to IDBF regulations where practical; the series would feature 250 meter sprints, with trophies for the series winners in each class.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, so lay ‘em on me!

I am particularly interested in hearing from anyone with an interest in organizing one of these events in their communities. I would also like to hear from teams that are interested in participating, so leave a comment if you want to join in the excitement!
