Dragon Boat Club of Boston. A side perspective from the coaches. Sunday, July 6, 2014. Dragon Boat Physics 101: Levers. But that had me thinking: leverage (by physics definition) is the presence of mechanical advantage through a lever. So parts of the dragon boat stroke must follow that of the lever. So lets explore this idea by modelling the stroke as a simple mechanical system and figure out what we can learn from it. Assistant Coach for the Dragon Boat Club of Boston.
