BELGIAN DRAGONS

The Dragon is one of the most beautiful and prestigious keelboat classes in the world and with more than 1400 boats racing worldwide it is also one of the largest. 

Designed in 1929 the Dragon quickly became a leading international class and remains a world leader today. 

Although an historic class the boats now being built are constructed using the very latest high technology materials and methods.

Careful class rule management has ensure that a well maintained older boat can still race competitively against the latest models and there are also special competitions for the vintage Classic Dragons, many of which are still racing today.
