Someone was looking for a Dragon awhile back.

Wow. That's an old one too...

I'll have to go take a look at that one--Thanks, Goodbasil.

I am pretty sure that's the one I saw on a trailer on the side of the hwy last summer. I could not resist taking a bunch of shots.
If anyone is interested, let me know and I will edit and post the images.

I know this boat...I saw it on the Peachland side of the lake about two summers ago. Well kept out of the weather, and on a custom cradle. Looked like there was a bit of rot at the edges of the decks. No one was around to ask about it, and my camera batteries were done...

post those pics, I'd be curious to see if it was the same boat...can't be TWO Dragons mouldering near Okanagan Lake, can there...?

[bamamick]

I'd like to see them as well.

I will post this on the forum at www.usdragon.org. You never know when someone might be looking for a Dragon.

This is the only woodie I have seen....but there is a glass Dragon for sale right now as well. Go figure.

That second boat is not a Dragon. Might be an Ensign. Not sure.

As far as the Dragon goes, I have never see that traveler arrangement. Interesting. And has someone set that boat up so that the mast steps on-deck? I'll have to go back and look more carefully. I see potential.

My boat looked pretty much like that when I got it. No doubt it's a project but it is doable.

Did anyone ever go by and see this boat?

She looks like she needs a major. Goodbasil, you might be thinking of me. I make noises about getting a Dragon every now and again, but it's just mostly noise.

[Yeadon]

Lew Barrett on a rocket ship. That's a fun thought.

Oh, wine country is hard on a wooden boat. What a hull shape, though.

[bamamick]

How about THIS one? Anyone rescue her?

I am going to re-post this one and the boat in Groton on our website at www.usdragons.org. We need to save each and everyone of our beautiful Dragons.

Bump to the top for someone who may be interested.

This boat has found a new owner! She is in inside storage and has begun being cleaned up.

Is this awesome, or what?
