Notes
This Dragon underwent an extensive renovation in 2015. David Howard (a former Commodore of the RCYC in Toronto) searched for Tomahawk, the Dragon he sailed in the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne. When he was not able to find it he bought Ludmilla and restored her as Tomahawk II. David sailed in '56 with his brother Cliff and friend Don Tytler. They came 8th in a fleet of 16.

Tomahawk II has two cockpit modifications (combing height and corner radius) that would need to be reversed to comply with Class Rules. She has been given a provisional Measurement Certificate noting this. These particular modifications are unlikely to affect One Design intent (all boats equal for racing).
