The Classic Dragon enthusiast community
This site is dedicated to original wooden Dragon class keelboats.
Designed in 1929 and becoming an Olympic class in 1948, the
Dragon was exclusively made by carvel wood construction
thru 1972. Fiberglass and other construction methods were
introduced in 1973 after the Dragon had been dropped as an
Olympic class. Wooden Dragons of this era are referred to
as "Classic Dragons".
Our mission is simply to raise awareness
of the Classic Dragon and become the online go-to resource
for all information regarding them. If you own, race,
are restoring, or simply interested in beautiful Classic Dragons,
then we invite you to check out our site and refer
other classic Dragon owners you may know. Perhaps you have never
heard of a Dragon before, in which case we hope you are drawn in
by their allure and sheer beauty as we have!

Please note that we are not an official organization as we have
no paid membership or charter. We exist only as an enthusiast community
of people who share a common passion. As such, we invite you to join
one of the many official Dragon associations around the world depending
on your region. For more information, please visit the International Dragon Association.
A list of all the regional associations may
be found here.
