Paddlers may be assured that fees in Victoria still remain significantly lower than those in other States. For many years Victorian paddler’s registration and entry fees have been heavily supplemented by City of Melbourne however this sponsorship has decreased substantially over the last few years.  DBV continues to generate a healthy income from corporate team building activities and boat hire and we make every effort to ensure that regattas show at least a modest financial gain.

 

As our dragon boat fleet ages and we also find ourselves maintaining a more extensive inventory of regatta equipment, the cost of upkeep and insurance is increasing substantially.
