Hi, We have had this sailing boat donated to our group which we will be auctioning off within the group, but I can not match it up to any designer, could be a total scratch build but looks very much like a Vic Smeed design, any one with any thoughts ?.

That looks to me very much like a Billings Dragon that’s had a nice cabin added. I’m wondering what to do with mine and this might be the inspiration I need!

Billing Dragen. Racing Dragens had little more than a cuddy but some did go for a little more comfort. The crewman is wedged inbetween the benches when in reality he'd spend most of his time hiked out over either side

Certainly looks like it could be the Dragen , keel looks the same as well as the profile.

Thanks.

Larry,

It looks like a Dragen and could be a Billings kit or scratch built. There is a Model Maker plan MM293 for a 1:10 scale model which comes out at around 35 inches long.

Thanks Gareth, definitely a contender, Model Maker August 1953.
