The King of the Channel (KOTC) is a yearly dragon boat race in the Netherlands between University College Roosevelt (UCR); the Hogeschool Zeeland (HZ) and Scalda represented by CIOS Goes. Although not a real rowing race, the concept mimics the well known Boat Race.
History The specific structure of the event has changed over the years. The 2011 edition of the KOTC involved three events. The first was a dragon boat race between UCR, HZ, and ROC. The second was a businesslike race with 4 person boats. The final race was between HZ and UCR.
