90 yrs of Dragon will meet 50 yrs of the Dusseldorf “Boot” Jan 19th to 27th 2019.
The simultaneous Anniversaries of the International Dragon and the largest International Boat show Dusseldorf Boot, will come together early next year in January. In celebration the German and International Dragon Association will invite the coming 2019 World Champion to Dusseldorf to voice with authentic stories, how they won the World Title in Freemantle, Australia. On display in the Sailing Centre of Hall 15 will be two new beautiful Dragons presented by Petticrows, UK and Doomernik, Holland.
A new Petticrows V6 & a beautiful teak decked Doomernik will be on view in Dusseldorf.
With the latest Petticrows V6 the new “Grand Prix” Doomernik dragon, the German Dragon Association – above all the Rheinland Fleet – will also introduce itself in Hall 15 D03. Top sailors of the class will give an insight into the scene conveying the “stable ambiance” of the “Bugatti’s” of the sea. Showing why Dragon Sailing is today, more than ever, one of the most attractive & active one-design class – great fun during the Dragon week at the “Boot”.
