Classic International Dragon Yacht For Sale

29 ft sailing boat for sale

International Dragon was designed by Johan Anker and built by Camper and Nicholson in 1947, yard No.740.

She was one of 4 Dragons built by C&N that year, including Bluebottle, a wedding present from the Island Sailing Club to the late Queen Elizabeth and her husband, Prince Philip.

The Dragon is a Scandinavian design from the pen of Johan Anker and was first drawn in 1929. A fast and exciting boat to sail that has become popular worldwide, with many examples being built not only in Scandinavia but right across Europe. The Class is still very active today, and the boats are now built in GRP and raced very competitively.

This boat was completely rebuilt by the previous owner between 2000 – 2002, full list of work done below.

Since 2004 she has been sailed by the current owner in and around Falmouth, used for day sailing in the summer and stored undercover every winter.

She has a custom-made road trailer from Tyrone Snell, making her versatile and easy to keep.
