We had many great events, both national and international, with good to above average attendance and new sailors joining, including many younger faces. Growing enthusiasm for Dragon sailing can be broadly recognised. However, there are also concerns for the longer-term continuation of this success. The worsening global economic situation - particularly in Europe – has reduced the number of new Dragons built. On the positive side there is a good market for used Dragons, bringing many new sailors to the class. The IDA firmly believes that the overwhelming majority of Dragon sailors are amateurs who adhere to the Corinthian spirit. obligation to strictly adhere to the ISAF and Class Rules meaning Corinthian Trophies are awarded at all major events. It is interesting that on the water the races can be played out on a truly level playing to recognise that our top Corinthian sailors match and in many field. cases beat the professional part of the fleet. The good relationship The class promotion efforts, especially on the website and other between professionals and Corinthians at our major events is linked social media, are growing significantly, thanks to the major something to be proud of and should also be carefully maintained. efforts of many contributors.

He reminded us of this when he spoke to the IDA last October at a dinner celebrating 50 years since he won his Olympic Gold Medal in Dragons, aged 21, in Italy in 1960. The Dragon Class has, at last, agreed a cohesive Branding Identity to be used for all ap- plications and right across the world. This will create better awareness of who we are and, over time, will definitely help to further strengthen our in- ternational franchise.
