Outrigger & Dragon Boat Races ~ 1000M Straightshot Qualifiers / 2K Oval “Doublestart” Championship Finals

This unique day of racing provides crew boat OC6 racers (in FGPC-supplied ultralight OC6s) with opportunities to test their sprint performance and entertain spectators. OC6 crews will alternate heats with dragon boat crews who are also participating. Of interest, OC6 crews consider these distances “sprint” while alternating dragon boat crews consider the day’s races as distance. Lots of fun and challenge for both crew boat formats.

Registration is open for teams who are ready to race in crewboat OC6s. Note that all boats are supplied by FGPC, including Millennium dragonboats, and ultralight OC6s. Registration Deadline: September 4, 2022

For CORA sprint participants who want to register for the V1 (solo rudderless) races over the 30 April to 1 May weekend, please ensure that you secure a V1 boat to race in. CORA is not supplying boats for solo sprint heats. Note that mixed crew paddlers cannot race in V1 over the sprint weekend. However, men and women in gender crews can race in V1 and can share V1 boats providing they share across genders. These restrictions are required to ensure fast and efficient race management and are not negotiable. To assist qualified paddlers who need to find a V1 or have one to share, CORA has created a forum to connect paddlers with and without V1s to arrange sharing. CLICK HERE to access the V1 sharing forum thread.

Registration for the CORA Outrigger Sprint Championships (30 April – 1 May 2022) is now closed.

If you are registering a team, please ensure that you have your rosters and person crew details ready for the end of March to complete your registration rosters.
