Draco Summerwind 24
Description
The Draco Summerwind was the only Draco sailboat except from the Dolphin dinghy. Developed much as a result of the oil crisis in the early seventies when most markeds requested fuel efficient boats. Draco sold a solid number of these in the beginning, but it was soon only built in small numbers on special request. Unique aft cabin design.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
