Gender Requirements for Sterns and Drummers

FGPC and other festival producers in North America look to IDBF rules and regulations for guidance, but we remain the stewards and managers of our local races. Each club and producer maintains rules that are deemed fair and consistent for their communities and regions. In the matter of gender restrictions for steerspeople and drummers, FGPC does not require them to be of a specific gender for mixed and women’s crews. For any further questions on this, please see FGPC’s Dragon Boat Festival Rules and Regulations.
