There has been a Dragon fleet at Aldeburgh for over 50 years. There is currently a fleet of around 11 Dragons. The standard is high – among them are Rory Bowman (4 times winner of the National Championship), Richard Gillingham (twice second in the National Championship) and Patrick Gifford (placed in the Gold Cup and winner of the East Coast Championship). This enables all competitors to sharpen their skills, and ensures that there is a great deal of expertise available.
