EVENTS IN MALLORCA
Mallorca is ideal for regattas.
The 8th edition of the Dragon Winter Series is held in Puerto Portals during the winter months, starting on November 15 and ends in February 23. But whats with the Dragon?
Relax, it has nothing to do with a scary fire dragon with red angry eyes. The Dragon is a sailing boat designed by Johan Anker (1871 - 1940) in 1929. Johan Anker is Norways foremost designer of racing yachts.
It was an Olympic class from 1948 to 1972.
The Dragon Winter Series is a regatta circuit in which top national and international sailors compete, within the framework of a classic sailing regatta, to experience the tradition of the sea up close with the Dragon class monotype boats.
Puerto Portals has become the port with the largest fleet of Dragons in Spain and a benchmark on the international circuit.
The class maintains around 1500 active boats in more than 26 countries, with Germany leading the way with the largest number of boats.
Here are the following dates for the regatta. For more info, visit Dragon Winter Series
