Paddling & More: Mālia Dragonboat Team
Race Dragon Boats!
Mālia (MAHL-yuh) has called the Community Sailing Center home since 2013. It’s a fun, inclusive group of varied ages and genders, led by world-champion coaches. Our 2026 season focuses on exciting racing at our favorite Montreal venues!
Dragon boat paddling season runs mid-May to mid-September and 2026 programs include:
Saturday Rec Program
Enjoy the lake, get a great workout, and make new friends. Focus is on fun and friendship.
Beginner Bootcamp
Dip your toes in, learn the basics, and test your mettle at the Lachine Knockout in Quebec on June 27. If the racing bug bites you, we’ll be happy to transition you into the full summer racing program.
Summer Racing Program
Go all in, learn the ins and outs of race strategy, and go for gold in Montreal at the Lachine Knockout (June 27), the Montreal Challenge (July 18-19), and the Quebec Cup (Sept 26-27).
We also offer several free “try-it” sessions throughout the summer. Off-season, the team stays fit and strong by training at Ethos Athletics, supplemented by indoor paddling sessions in Montreal.
