Children's sailing dinghy : OPTIMIST
BLUE DRAGON
Dragon Marine
- 2.3m 
7' 7"ft
The polyethylene is stiffer thanks to this new composition, as is the sandwich contruction. The new construction method is also stronger and lighter than before. The previous method was a single skin construction which, because of the necessary material thickness, made the boat heavier and the skin more susceptible to cracks.
A polyethylene boat is now not necessarily heavier than a FRP hull thanks to this construction method. The hull of the Blue Dragon has an average thickness of 9 mm, and at 39 kilos it's also the lightest boat in its class!
