- Dragon, 1929 -
The first
Dragon was built in 1929 in Gothenburg, Sweden. The sailing
qualities of the Dragon are so good that the boat is practically
used for cruising and regatta all over the world, and especially
in Europe, where it has become extremely popular.
In the course
of time, the dragon has gradually been changed into a regatta
boat, and it is no longer built in accordance with the original
specifications. Both the cabin and the canvas have been changed,
so today it is actually only the hull, which is original.
In 1948 the
Dragon was made an olympic class of boats, and all measures were
stipulated by the International Yachting Union. Since 1929 this
type of boat has participated in numerous Scandinavian and
International regattas and it is still one of the most popular
boats. |
