A Dragon Boat head,on one of the original gift boats in the V&A Waterfront,Cape Town.
The phone rang just now,could we make dragon boat heads? it became a very interesting discussion on the heads,tails and paddles,as Commercial Lumber cc,the beginning of what is now CKD Boats cc made all three items over ten years ago when the racing started here in Cape Town,I shaped some 500 plus paddles by hand myself ,they even gave me my own lapel badge for the opening international event,all South African entries used our paddles.Given reasonable new orders we may well be making paddles to the Dragon Boat class once more,only now we will CNC cut and shape them,they will all be exactly the same then.
