Formed in 2002, BlueFins are a social & competitive Dragon Boat and Outrigger Canoe club in Sydney. We compete in events locally and abroad. BlueFins achieved an outstanding record in corporate racing events and won many titles in the early years. The club became an affiliate of Dragon Boats NSW Inc, and have been competing in DBNSW sports racing events. In 2024/25, the team is still going strong and looking forward to the new season!
BlueFins has continued to grow and expand - leading other corporate teams to win major events and also run outrigger canoe sessions with OC6 and v1's. Since 2020, it is an Australian Outrigger Canoe Racing Association (AOCRA) approved club.
We welcome people of all ages who enjoy paddling and meeting up together!
