With regards to the Perlis Long Boat race, i've spoken to some of the rowers that were present and it's just a normal SDBA boat. Plain and simple. "Long Boat" is just a fancy name for the race.

From what i gather frm those that went up, it seems that the national team came in 2nd in the Grand Finals. Not bad for a team newly formed. Can Naziman really work wonders?

Maybe the "Long" in Long boat means Dragon in chinese? So technically, it is still dragonboat.

HAHA. just a wild guess.
