Draconboat race. You didn't read it wrong. It's not a typo although you might find plenty of typos elsewhere on this website.

Borrowed from the term 'Draconian' which spelled the harsh laws and environment entrenched by the 7th century Greek overlord, Draco, our program will install plenty of draconian rules in your preparation for a dragonboat race. We endeavor to make you physically and mentally frustrated until expletives from all languages is heard. Old wise man will say through misery you accomplish great feats of human triumph!

This mission inadvertently fosters stronger friendship, collaboration and harmony. The activity puts individuals in a water environment where they would need to overcome severe physical and mental strain as they undertake individual assignments to move in synchronicity, and achieve the goal of completing the race in the fastest time!
