- Changing of rules in Stanley Races (First News 2010) -Please be
informed that Stanley Dragon Boat Assn is changing some of the rules as
follows. Such amendments are a result of observation and debate over the
years, and our effort to make our Rules and Regulations more closely in
line with those of IDBF. In a nutshell, (1) We will allow paddles to
stay in water as a “ready position”; (2) we no longer make it compulsory
to ask the steersman to keep the blade of the steering rudder in water (
as long as NO forward propelling force is created as such).
