Dragon class yacht circa 1956
This yacht was given a major facelift last year, we supplied a lot of the materials used, fairing epoxy, Dow-Corning sealant, mahogany veneer and teak wood solids.
The decks were already in laid teak, the Dow-Corning sealant was for a re caulk of the joints.
Mahogany flexible veneer went on the coach roof.
Teak solids were used inside the cockpit and as floor covers.
As far as I know this Dragon was sailed in the 1957 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia and came third in the event for Sweden.
