The serene waters of Jurong Lake were stirred up this weekend as paddlers battled it out in this year's National 5-Crew Dragon Boat Challenge. The boats in the competition were smaller and narrower than the normal dragon racing boats so balance and power were vital to speed through the 250-metre course.
Steering is by the coxswain using a paddle whereas a long rudder is used on the usual 10- and 20-crew boats.
More than 600 dragon boaters took part in the two-day challenge, organised by the People's Association. - CNA/so
