Dragon Boat Races - Clarence Dock, Leeds

Dragon Boat Races Clarence Dock Leeds

This is one of a small series of pictures from this years dragon boat races at Clarence Dock in Leeds city centre.

I was visiting the Leeds Royal Armouries Museum adjacent to the canal when I saw the dragon boat racing in progress so I spent some time watching and took some photographs for the Leeds Daily Photo

The 40-foot boats can hold up to 16 paddlers (plus one drummer at the helm).
