As many as 84 boats populated San Remo at the Gazprom International European Dragon Championship organized by the San Remo Yacht Club. Once again, this is proof that the “oldies” of the sea never die: despite being over 80 years old, the Dragon remains one of the world’s most esteemed keelboats. The reasons for this enthusiasm are its outstanding sailing qualities and a structured and effective Class organization. Such a combination of qualities explains its worldwide distribution in more than thirty nations.
