Guests are divided into teams of a maximum of 10 and each team then sub-divides as 6 people are needed for the rowing (3 per boat consisting of 2 rowers and a Cox) and 4 to paddle the canoes (2 per canoe). 

The rowing boats and canoes race in a series of knockout heats respectively. This is then followed by two semi-finals and a final for each discipline. 

Once these races are finished the teams then re-group and all pile in to Dragon Boats to start the final section of the days racing.  For the big finale the qualifying teams from the heats race for victory in the grand Dragon Boat final!
