Fast? Ask Ulli Libor the well respected German Dragon sailor. He took a brand new Thoroughbred Racer to the worlds in Dublin last September. After 4 days of sailing he was leading the competitive 70 boat fleet. To bad he lost his winning strike ended in the last difficult light air race but still allowing him to grab the silver medal in his brand new boat. It leaves no room for doubt!

Stiff? Her deck was made to the strict Doomernik standards. In other words: here no plastic flap, thrown on the hull, but special matting was used to make it strong and smooth and then bolted - yes bolted! -, glued and bonded, to the famous André Hoek designed, extra stiff hull.

Functional? Our special "Barney Post" now being poorly imitated, our thought through hard waring and lining of all functions, our lay-in bottom and special rib under the canopy for extra strain absorption, our unique "Sliding Door" arrangement for the spi tube which is now fully integrated in the deck, are just some eye catching refinements of what one should expect in a modern Dragon.

Beautiful? Seeing is believing but from the above you should be able to discern that this must be a beautiful "thing". Love for detail and functionality make things beautiful. You know that! All you have to do now is come, see and get that inevitable, elating, dizzying, feeling that you must have one....Every time I make one I get this nagging feeling, too...
