About BDA

The Dragon is one of the most beautiful and prestigious keelboat classes in the world and with more than 1800 boats racing worldwide it is also one of the largest.  Designed in 1929 the Dragon quickly became a leading international class and remains a world leader today. 

Although an historic class the boats now being built are constructed using the very latest high technology materials and methods.  Careful class rule management has ensure that a well maintained older boat can still race competitively against the latest models and there are also special competitions for the vintage Classic Dragons, many of which are still racing today. 

The Belgian Dragon Association (BDA) was established in the 19xxs and currently over 20 crews regularly compete in regattas in Belgium.  If you would like to test sail a Dragon or need further information about any aspect of Dragon sailing in Belgium please don't hesitate to contact the BDA.
