Dragon Int

Originally designed by Norwegian naval architect Johann Anker in 1928, this elegant fractional sloop represents nearly a century of refined sailing heritage. The Dragon Int stands as a testament to classic yacht design principles, blending traditional aesthetics with proven performance characteristics that have made it a respected choice among discerning sailors. With its moderate displacement of 3,740 pounds and substantial ballast ratio, this 29-footer offers excellent stability for coastal cruising and club racing. The fin keel configuration and 286 square feet of sail area provide responsive handling while maintaining forgiving characteristics that suit both experienced sailors and those developing their skills. The boat's 22 comfort ratio suggests civilized motion in seaways, making longer passages more enjoyable. Construction options in both wood and fiberglass allow buyers to choose between traditional craftsmanship and modern durability. The relatively low capsize screening formula of 1.66 indicates good stability margins for coastal sailing, though the design is best suited for protected waters and nearshore adventures rather than extended offshore passages. Abbott Boats Inc.'s involvement in production has helped maintain build quality while preserving Anker's original design intent, creating a boat that balances performance, comfort, and timeless appeal for today's sailors.
