Registrations open for 30th anniversary of Geraldton Yacht Club’s Dragon Boat Classic in September

The call is out for teams to register for the 30th anniversary of the Geraldton Yacht Club’s Dragon Boat Classic. The event will return to the Geraldton Foreshore on Sunday, September 29, and ultimate boating bragging rights will be up for grabs. The 30th running of the Dragon Boat Classic will be a highlight of Sunshine Festival celebrations. City of Greater Geraldton mayor Jerry Clune encouraged businesses, sporting clubs and groups of friends to register a team. “Whether you are a participant or a spectator the Dragon Boat Classic promises excitement for everyone,” he said. “There is no better way to build team spirit than successfully getting 16+ people to paddle together in unison and with this year being the 30th iteration of the event the stakes are even higher. “So I urge all would-be paddlers to get a crew together, fire up the group chat, book in some training sessions and I look forward to seeing everyone down on the foreshore to cheer on the paddlers as they race for the finish line.” The event is open to teams of 16-18 people. Registrations must be lodged by Friday, September 20, and more information is available on the Geraldton Yacht Club website at www.gycwa.com.au under Upcoming Events or by contacting the GYC office on 9964 1664.
