The Berkeley Racing Canoe Center was formed in January 2004 for the purpose of promoting international dragon boat competition and providing water access and educational opportunities to the Berkeley and East Bay communities. Located at M-dock in the Berkeley Marina, BRCC owns two "six-sixteen" dragon boats, one OC-1 single-person outrigger canoe, several single and double touring kayaks, and one time trial canoe. All boats are available for use by qualified members at no charge beyond the annual membership fee. BRCC hosts the DragonMax dragon boat team. The founding members of DragonMax come from DieselFish and from the Berkeley Dragons. DragonMax began as a CDBA team, but became independent with the purchase of the two dragon boats. As of August 2006 DragonMax is the only team hosted by BRCC, so all BRCC members are also DragonMax team members. Efforts are underway to form a youth team, and there are prospects for one or more additional adult teams for the 2007 season. Guests, passengers and team prospects are welcome at almost all practice sessions. No experience is necessary, and BRCC supplies lifejackets and paddles. See the membership page and the practice schedule for more details.
