Dragon Olympic Racer Sailboat 30" Built Wood Yacht Ship Assembled
T
his high quality, intermediate level, Dragon Olympic Class Sailboat model is brand new, fully assembled and ready for display (not a kit). The manufacturer is Authentic Models (please see below). This model sailboat requires some easy semi-assembly you will need to raise up the mast, unfurl the sails and adjust the rigging. The rigging attaches with hooks (no knot tying).
This Dragon Class sailboat model was specially designed & built by the plank on frame method (joining multiple small pieces of wood together on the hull). The hull topsides have a distressed antiqued finish and the bottom is painted a distressed French white. Fittings are handmade of brass. The cloth sails are hand stitched and detailed with batten pockets. The Dragon boat model comes complete with a stand.
The International Dragon is a one-design keelboat for two to four people with a total mass of 285 kg.
The Dragon was designed by Johan Anker in 1929. In 1948 the Dragon became an Olympic Class, a status it retained until the Munich Olympics in 1972. The Dragon's long keel and elegant metre-boat lines remain unchanged, but today Dragons are constructed using the latest technology to make the boat durable and easy to maintain. GRP construction was introduced in 1973 and the rigging has been regularly updated.
The Dragon Class is actively represented in over 26 countries in 5 Continents. There were 1444 boats registered in 2004 and the number of boats built has averaged 45 per year. There are much more which are used for day sailing or cruising.
The World Championships are held in every odd year and the European Championships have held annually. The Gold Cup, which can only be held in certain specified European countries, is unique in that all six races count without discard. It is held annually and often attracts over 100 entries, usually starting in one fleet.
A strong Class Association manages the class rules carefully to ensure safety, high quality and uniformity. Spars and sails have a wide range of adjustment during racing, allowing a skillful crew to optimize the boat for any conditions. Crew weight limits and restrictions on hiking out allow the Dragon to be raced successfully by a range of ages and genders.
