After we have already held the Dragon Grand Prix Germany six times in series in the Baltic Sea in front of Kühlungsborn, I am very happy to be able to organize the World Championships of the International Dragon Class here. Kühlungsborn offers with its open area without any disturbance by sea shipping, the short drive to the competition area and good logistic infrastructure the optimal conditions for large starting fields. In addition, the location offers an extensive leisure program for the participants and their families. This is going to be a great event, we are really looking forward to it!
