Dongola racing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dongola racing is a popular event in traditional local regattas, especially on the River Thames in southern England [1]. Competitors use wide punts and a team of people with single-bladed paddles, facing forwards and kneeling, normally with one leg up and one leg down. The person at the rear is responsible for the steering with their paddle.
