29 July, Class 40 website, Fastest Vintage Boat in the Class, Dragon, USA #54, is available for sale. 12th in the 2018 RdR, she is the fastest Vintage boat in the Class40 fleet and is in pristine condition. Dragon is race-ready and measured, and has been continually and professionally maintained in top condition. She has seen constant upgrades over the course of her racing history to keep her updated to the very top end of current standards and optimized for performance within the Class Rule. No expense has been spared in equipping her with the very best available equipment and hardware. She currently meets all Class requirements including the recent increases in required buoyancy. Her last refit was 2022. Her hull and deck were constructed in a female mold, of epoxy and corecell sandwich. Her deck configuration is optimized for short-handed racing, but she also has a cockpit layout with a removable hard dodger that suits a larger crew if desired for inshore or coastal racing. Her cabin layout is optimized for class approved gear stacking. Her mast and standing rigging are currently being replaced, and she is expected to be ready by September 2022 to be able to compete in any off-shore race of any distance under Class40 rules or various other handicapping rules. She was built to Cat 0 standards and is capable of racing the next announced round-the-world races. Her design, including an articulating bow sprit, provides for exceptional light air, as well as very good VMG running and upwind performance relative to other Class40s.
