Dragon Boat Race Fires up Hong Kong In celebration of the Tuen Ng festival, Cushman & Wakefield participated in the Sun Life Stanley International Dragon Boat Race, which is the largest and the most exciting dragon boat series in Asia. The race was at Stanley Main Beach in Hong Kong. Dragon Boat Racing is a rapidly growing sport that combines Chinese traditions, competition, teamwork and fun. Dragon boats are 46 feet long and feature paddlers, a drummer and a steersman. During the race, the drummer’s job is to keep an effective beat in order to synchronise the paddlers. GOS was well represented with 27 paddlers on the team and took part in three races. The Cushman & Wakefield Dragon Boat team achieved the best time record of 1.23 seconds.
