This event on Lake Ossiach offers all water sports enthusiasts the opportunity to get to know rowing and paddling in an informal atmosphere. Since 2011 the CIC has taken part in the Dragonboat Cup on the Ossiacher See with its own paddling team. Visitors are very welcome at the tournament! Day event, food and drinks are available the whole day.

A Dragonboat Cup team consists of 20 members, with one person operating the rudder and one person beating the drum to the beat. The total of 18 paddlers in the engine room try to keep time. At least 6 of them are ladies. The more successful they are, the higher their team name will be in the results.
