When an orc tribe has killed a dragon, the remains are often used to make a dragonboat. This is then gifted to the dragon-slayer (or his family), and used to search the seas for ships to raid.

Built for the Medieval Warship Category for the CCC (www.classic-castle.com/events/ccc/prizes.cgi?contest=cccxiv)

The inspiration from this build mainly stemmed from the skeletal frame I developed in my last creation, the Skahz'gul and how it could be used to make a dragon skeleton for the front of the ship, compared with simply a wooden one. Some black dragon wings that I had left over from a fell beast I built a while back gave me the fabric I needed for the sails and the idea was born.

Thanks everyone for all the comments and faves. I've been extremely lucky with this shot. The dragonboat team had been practising for almost an hour but always too far away to take a good shot. Just before the last rays of the sun disappeared they made one more passby, just within shooting range....lucky me.

I was out at the bay front shooting in the pre-dawn and saw a dragon boat crew going through their paces. The sky seemed appropriate to their efforts.

Despite the rain, they did manage to hold a few races. These racers were getting psyched up on their way to the next race.

Went for a walk near Granville Island and came across these old dragonboats collecting dust under a nearby bridge.

This was taken at the 2017 Portland Dragon Boat Races. There are several teams of people who have survived cancer. These race and when they return to shore they are received with flowers and paddles held high in an arch.
