Put a Dragon under the tree?

Three woodies listed at www.yachtworld.com (http://www.yachtworld.com) right now. All three listed from $13-16K US. One in Quebec and two in BC. You have to go to the advanced search and tell them you are looking for wooden racing sailboats. That'll get you there.

Uh, a couple of them even come with auxiliary power smile.gif !

Those are pretty interesting looking boats (the FF's). And the boats that Warren are sailing on are beautifully finished.

As far as the Dragons go, that's the first time I've seen a wooden Dragon listed at a brokerage firm. Woodwind in Ontario has a couple of boats but they need to be restored. I am assuming (perhaps incorrectly, you never know) that for the prices they are asking that those boats need little immediate work.

As I have been posting here for a few weeks, I am trying to get together a list of wooden Dragons or isolated 'glass boats in North America. I have come up with a list of four previously 'lost' boats, but I think that that is just scratching the surface. They are out there. Once we get enough woodies together I am going to come up with a 'classics' trophy for the class to sail for like they have in the UK.

As one owner in California just wrote to me 'the boat was just too beautiful to let die'. One of our members who regularly posts here has a Dragon and hopes to begin a restoration soon.

One of the things that the class has been lacking is someone to drum up support. Well, I'm drummin'. We are going to get some of the 'barn' Dragons sailing again. I believe it. They are just too beautiful to let die.
