BRCC

BRCC hosts the DragonMax dragon boat team. The founding members of DragonMax come from DieselFish and from the Berkeley Dragons. DragonMax began as a CDBA team, but became independent with the purchase of the two dragon boats. One of the benefits of independence is local control of operating rules, and this allows BRCC to relax CDBA's strict age limits for participation. BRCC is friendly and accommodating to families and to supervised young children... Dragon boats are close replicas of ancient Chinese river commerce boats. Three of BRCC's boats are 48 ft long (not counting the ornamental head and tail), with seats for up to 24 paddlers plus a drummer and a steersperson. BRCC also operates a 20-paddler "Champion" model dragon boat, similar to the international competition standard, and one 10-paddler half-size boat... It is through the tireless efforts of our volunteers that we are able to provide low-cost membership to water sports enthusiasts, serve hundreds of individual community..
