The International Dragon is widely regarded as one of the most elegant and enduring one-design keelboats in the history of yachting. Designed in 1929 by the legendary Norwegian naval architect Johan Anker, the vessel was originally conceived as the winner of a design competition held by the Royal Gothenburg Yacht Club. The brief called for an affordable cruising keelboat for young sailors—a purpose that stands in sharp contrast to the Dragon’s modern reputation as a high-performance, technically complex grand prix racer. According to the International Dragon Association, the design quickly transcended its Scandinavian roots to become a global phenomenon, achieving Olympic status in 1948 and maintaining it until 1972. Today, the class remains remarkably active, with significant fleets in over 30 countries and a racing circuit that attracts world-class professional sailors and royalty alike.
