Une très belle journée portes ouvertes avec les So French Dragon Boat ! 🤩
Nous étions ravies d’accueillir de nouvelles participantes, curieuses de découvrir le dragon boat, d’en apprendre les bases et de ressentir le plaisir de pagayer ensemble. Entre la technique, la synchronisation et les premiers repères dans le bateau, il y avait beaucoup à découvrir… mais aussi beaucoup de sourires!
Et bien sûr, nous avons terminé la journée autour d’un apéro sur la plage, rejoints par les conjoints et les enfants. Un joli rappel que le dragon boat, ce n’est pas seulement l’entraînement: ce sont aussi les rencontres et les bons moments partagés. 💙🤍❤️

Such a lovely Open Day with The So French Dragon Boat! 🚣‍♀️
It was great to welcome new faces to the boat—women curious to try dragon boat, learn the basics and experience what it feels like to paddle together. There was plenty to take in, from technique and timing to finding your rhythm in the boat, but also lots of laughs along the way.
And of course, we ended the day with an apéro on the beach, joined by partners and children. A lovely reminder that dragon boat is not just about training: it is also about the people you meet and the moments you share. 💙🤍❤️

Against the backdrop of a historic milestone—the 50th anniversary of the Sun Life Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races—the So French Dragon Boat achieved a rare double: a podium finish and a new 500m team record, racing among elite all-women crews from Hong Kong and around the world. 🐉✨

Our race journey was anything but smooth.
2️⃣7️⃣ June
👉 Race #33: 2:36.773 (6/7)
👉 Race #43: 2:35.011 (7/7)
2️⃣8️⃣ June
👉 Heat #12: 2:40.067 (6/7)
👉 Semi-final: 2:44.642 (7/7)
Each race tested us. Our times slipped, and by the semi-final we hit our lowest point.

But the So French spirit does not give up 🇫🇷💪 In the Silver Cup Final, we reset. We put in our minds, our hearts, and all our strength, trusting our stroke and each other until the very last metre.

And we delivered 🔥
🏁 Silver Cup Final: 2:18.985 (2/6)
Our fastest 500m ever—better than any training time—and a 1st runner-up finish🥈🏆
We brought home a trophy and a beautiful silver medal featuring Hong Kong’s iconic skyline, a perfect keepsake from this 50th anniversary edition.
From struggle to breakthrough, this weekend was about resilience, belief, and driving our performance to a new level.

This race also concludes our 2025–2026 season: 7 competitions, 5 podiums, and one unforgettable new benchmark. So French. Toujours 💙🤍❤️

🐉🇫🇷 The sweet taste of glory at the Shangri-La Stanley International Dragon Boat Championships! The So French Dragon Boat lined up against 10 strong all‑ladies teams and delivered a huge performance: 3rd in the first race, then 2nd in both the second and third races, securing 1st runner up in the Ladies’ Gold Cup🏆 and a SILVER medal🥈.

When Coach Vanessa and Co‑Coach Linda took over in autumn 2025, we began from a modest position in the rankings; in just one season we’ve climbed to finish right behind Hong Kong’s number 1 all‑ladies team, the Renegades – a true remontada and a steep learning curve powered by hard work, commitment and grit👊

Huge thank you to our sponsors for believing in us, our amazing supporters on the shore, and the organisers for a fantastic championship – onwards and upwards from here 🚀

(Almost) end-of-season vibes with the So French Dragon Boat! 🇫🇷🐉

After months of hard work on and off the boat, we hit pause for a fun little celebration – and the season isn’t even over yet!
In her speech, Captain Georgia suggested keeping the same comité for next season, and the team gave it a big thumbs up🙌
So far this year, the So French Dragon Boat already climbed onto the podium three times 💪
🥉 3rd place – 500m VRC Deep Water Bay Regatta - 12 April
🥈 2nd place – 1000m Lamma - 26 April
🥈 2nd place – 250m Stanley Warm-Up - 23 May

We celebrated at our Mesklenn's terrace with a cosy BBQ, enjoying delicious, high-quality meats and products from Brittany imported by Sebastien Hesry.

Our amazing coaches Ness and Linda handed out fun awards to each paddler, shining a light on everyone’s progress and personal achievements. Then, because So French can’t resist a bit of competition, we wrapped up with a dragon-boat quiz, where the top three on the leaderboard won 500, 400 and 300 HKD coupons to spend on sports gear.

Now we turn our focus to the last two big races of the season:
👉19 June – Shangri-La Stanley International Dragon Boat Championships at Stanley Main Beach
👉27–28 June – 2026 Sun Life Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races in Victoria Harbour, celebrating the 50th edition of this iconic event
Come down, cheer for us, and soak up the festival vibes, it’s going to be loud, colourful and unforgettable!

Racing in Stanley, our home club, and we brought everything we’ve got.
Competing in the Ladies’ Small Boat division (12 paddlers, 8 teams), So French Dragon Boat showed what months of focused training can do. We clocked 1:39:56 in the heat, then came back sharper in the final, improving to 1:38:51.

That effort secured us 2nd place🥈

Beyond the result, it’s the progress that matters. Tough sessions on the water and in the gym, and a crew that keeps pushing together—it’s all paying off 💪

As Coach Ness says: epic🔥 And we’re not done yet.
A big thank you to our sponsors for their continued support 🙏

☀️ WHAT A RACE DAY! On Sunday 26 April,🇫🇷So French Dragon Boat hit the water at the Lamma 500, racing in both the 500m and 1000m under perfect blue skies—sunny, warm, and not too humid… just how we like it! 🚣‍♀️🌊
We started the day in serious style, hopping on a junk boat 🛥️ from Aberdeen to Lamma with the whole crew and our amazing sponsors: Lacoste, Tv5monde Asie Pacifique, and Meskleen. Huge merci to Sebastien Hesry for the delicious breakfast spread 🥐🍳 on board—fueling us up for a big day of racing.
On the water, we pushed hard through four races, with two strong 500m heats (2:26:440 and 2:20:930 🏁), shaving off precious seconds and showing real progress with every stroke. Our efforts paid off with a spot in the Women’s 500m final, and we’re so proud of what the team delivered 💪.
The MAGIC MOMENT of the day was the 1000m RACE: we smashed it in 4:09:120, taking 1st runner-up 🥈 and stepping onto the podium 🎉—a huge boost for the whole team and a memory we won’t forget.
Having our sponsors with us all day—cheering, laughing, celebrating on the beach and on the boat—made everything even more special 👏.
We wrapped up this unforgettable day cruising back to Aberdeen, joined by Axelle Cohu from Hong Kong Accueil, enjoying wines, oysters, and cheese 🍷🦪🧀, once again beautifully curated by Meskleen.
A day of teamwork, performance, sunshine, and friendship. MERCI to everyone who paddled, supported, and believed in us On The List, Banque Transatlantique & Alea❤️
