Redcliffe dragon boat teams are building strong form ahead of April’s national championships at Lake Kawana after delivering multiple podium finishes and finals appearances at recent Queensland events.
Redcliffe Crews Step Up Ahead Of Lake Kawana
With the Australian Dragon Boat National Championships set for April 18 to 24 at Lake Kawana, Redcliffe Red Dragons have carried momentum from the Queensland Championships into the national lead-up. The club secured six medals from eight events and placed every crew into finals across the regatta, underlining consistent performance across divisions.
Four gold medals, one silver and one bronze were recorded, with the Senior A Mixed 10s and Senior B Women’s 10s crews claiming dual 2026 state titles in both the 500m and 200m events. Other finishes included fourth and fifth in Senior A Open 10s, alongside 15th in the Women’s 10s 1km and 10th in the Open 10s 1km. Ten members were also selected to represent Queensland across Senior B and Senior C categories.
Redcliffe Pink Snapdragons Carry Form Into Nationals
The Redcliffe Pink Snapdragons enter the April championships following a consistent run of results across recent regattas and the Queensland Championships. The breast cancer survivor crew placed third overall among seven teams at the state event, finishing third in both the 500m and 200m races.
Earlier in the season, the team secured victory at the Battle of the Paddles Regatta in Broadbeach, improving times in challenging conditions to win the final. This was followed by another strong showing at the Te Waka Dragons Regatta on the Gold Coast, where the crew won both their heat and final.
The group’s recent performances reflect its continued development after a period of uncertainty, with the team now established as a growing presence within the Redcliffe dragon boating community.
Redcliffe Crews Set For National Competition
Both Redcliffe teams approach the April championships at Lake Kawana following strong state and regatta results, with performances across sprint events providing a clear benchmark ahead of national competition.
Across multiple crews and categories, the combination of state titles, medal finishes and consistent finals appearances places Redcliffe in a strong position entering the national regatta.
