Model boat kit

Dragen

Kit by Billing Boats

The Dragon is a three person keelboat designed by the Norwegian Johan Anker in 1929 for a design competition run by the Royal Gothenburg Yacht Club. She was an Olympic class from 1948 to 1972 and is still raced as a one design in many countries.

This 1:12 kit builds a 75 cm model with a wooden hull and a brass keel, standing about one metre tall with the rig. Billing rates it for experienced builders, the third of its four levels.
