DRAGON BOAT BUILDER!
Ramsay Drummond-Young
is currently prepared to sell dragon boats.
Teams, festival organizers, and other interested organizations should browse
this site carefully and learn why RDY boats are the best!
An RDY dragon boat is 41 feet long designed to conform with the EDBF standards. The hulls are foam core construction that compliment the floatation chambers that are positioned at either end of the boat. This added buoyancy enhances the boats performance even when it has taken on water. The drum, which constitutes as an additional floatation chamber at the bow of the RDY boat is designed to automatically right the boat in the event of a capsize. These added features dramatically enhance the safety for all participants in the boat.
As well as these safety features, the boat has convenience features that are not found in any other dragon boat in the world! Water bottle holders are a unique characteristic of the RDY boats. Seems like an insignificant trait for a boat to have. However, when you remember that during a practice the paddlers are working hard for usually an hour or more at a time in the boat… the holders are much appreciated by everyone!
Practices can be quite vigorous! The RDY boats are excellently built standing up
to the rigors of every day practice.
During one practice, with a full crew paddling at about 70% the boat struck a
large submerged pointed rock just under the nose. The speed of the boat drove
the hull up over the rock for almost 50% of the boat, lifting the whole front
half out of the water. The hull of almost any other
boat would surly have been torn open or at the very least, been badly split or
cracked! Because of the structural soundness of the hull, the RDY
boat faired extremely well only scratching the surface of the under part of the
boat.
WHEW!... The practice continues!!!... and so do
many more!
For a dragon boat manufacturer who can and will provide the warranty support
and has a sample boat to test please call...
