Limited Edition 80th Anniversary Vintage Dragon Launched
02 April 2009
In recognition of the 80th Anniversary of the Class, New Zealand based Alex Kirichuk of Aries Pacific has collaborated with the Lagoon Royal Shipyard to create a Limited Edition Vintage Dragon. Combining traditional classic yacht construction with state of the art rigging and sail wardrobe, this Vintage Dragon reflects the best of its Class.
Alex skippered the first Vintage Dragon, Alla, at New Zealand National Regatta earlier this year with crew, Kevin Dibley and Simon Kidd. In awarding Alla the Brown & Stone Trophy for best performing classic Dragon, President Frans de Court said, "All members of the Association admire the enthusiasm and courage Alex Kirichuk has shown in creating such an exquisite Dragon - from the mahogany hull built by the Royal lagoon shipyard in the Ukraine to the advanced technical expertise of the New Zealand rigging and sail making industries."
