As KIN this top spec Dragon was in the top 3 in all major regattas. Her current owner purchased her for the 2004 Dragon 75th Anniversary World Championship regatta in Saint Tropez. Overall she was circa 15th from 270 entries, despite being sailed by a crew who had never sailed together before.
Since then this exceptional Dragon has spent most of her life covered up and in a shed near Dublin. She has had very little use and has not been in the water since 2006.

Boat: D/GBR 615 - GALAX 11
Manufacturer / Year: Pedersen and Thuesen 1969
Description:
A rare opportunity to acquire a Pedersen and Thuesen Dragon in excellent condition and ready to race.
Galax has had a lot of work done and has not sailed been sailed since 2005 in Falmouth, when 2nd in the Dragon class during regatta week. With a very small amount of money spent she could be a top boat.
The hull has a stainless steel space frame and laminated bulkheads to support rig tension.
Sails:
- One hardly used North Main
- New Petticrow Genoa and Spinnaker
- 4 other mains from Petticrow and North
- 2 other genoas
Equipment:
- Petticrow mast very little used
- Runners fine and main pull
- Fine tune on Genoa
- Forestay tensioner
- New furling gear
- Mast ram
- New spinnaker sheets .
- All controls running back under boards to bulk head.
- Running systems replaced 2009 and not used.
- Weight with sails and equuipment 1700Kgs
- Old but good trailer.

The hull needs some light sanding and varnishing but is otherwise very good, this 2 pack has lasted for years, boat has had light use since then. Petticrows installed new furling gear and Ian Symons of Rice and Coles in Burnham renewed all control lines and some blocks in 2009. The floors were raised in 2007 in laminated wood slightly to take the control lines to the bulkhead in front of the helmsman. All systems have not been used since installation, I put her in water last year in July to Sept but didn't have time to sail . In front of mast is virgin varnish. The Norwegians really looked after her and she was lightly raced in Alesund. I purchased the boat from Norway in 1996. I have her original Swedish and Norwegian measurements certificates. She has had 3 previous owners from new in 1969.
Price: As is £26,000 or - Re-varnished work and place 2 coats of Epithanes, under water, fill where necessary and paint with epoxy primer or antifoul then price will be £27,000. I can accept Euros or US Dollars equivalent to GBP amount based on rate at Barclays at time of sale.
I have all papers including VAT paid certificate when I imported the boat from Norway.
