Classic metre design plus 21st century technology allows the Dragon to maintain worldwide popularity as a sophisticated, technically demanding yacht.
A strong Class Association ensures competitive one-design racing for all ages of boat. 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.
In North America there is growing interest in restoring classic wooden Dragons as well as importing newer fiberglass Dragons. There are active racing fleets on the West Coast, the Great Lakes and the South, while many individuals continue to sail this classic yacht for fun.
