Planning and preparations have immediately been put into urgency mode and within the next few weeks there will be:

* Published NOR
* A website where sailors can register and pay the entry fee – visit the new website here >>>
* Appointed key team members to handle bookings and all the logistics

This regatta is of course special as we celebrate the Dragon’s 90th birthday. But it is as much about the future as the past and younger sailors are especially encouraged.

This regatta will bring together a large number of members of the Dragon family, of every age and in every sort of Dragon from the oldest wooden classics, to the latest builds, and everything in between.
