Staff introduced that, in order to prevent the Dragon Boat "flow with the flow", so the dragon boat after the sinking every year needs to be tied together with the rope, so the first step in the salvage is to "unlock" the dragon boat first. First, the crew went to the water to untie the rope. Then, the Dragon Boat needed to salvage one by one, hook it with a hook, and then pick it up. At 9:30 in the morning, first dragon boats were fished out of the water.
according to the staff of Daming Lake Park, the main material of these dragon boats is fiberglass. This material is light and hard, not conductive, low thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance. However, the long-term temperature tolerance is poor, and it can easily lead to poor performance under the action of ultraviolet radiation, wind, sand, rain and snow. Therefore, after each competition, the dragon boat must be submerged in the lake for preservation of the aging and prolonging the service life.
staff said that the salvaged dragon boat needs to be cleaned, repaired, painted and dried, and can be rebuilt and maintained. The 11 dragon boats will be used for the fourteenth dragon boat race in Ji'nan on Dragon Boat Festival this year.
