Ilse Jacobsen Hornbæk, the main sponsor of Hamlet Dragon Gold Cup 2016, has designed a limited edition Dragon Gold Cup Collection.

 

Hornbæk Boat Club, the Royal Danish Yacht Club and Hellerup Sailing Club have the pleasure of hosting theᅠ2016 Dragon Gold Cup in Hornbæk, Denmark from August 25 – September 2, 2016.

 

Hornbæk Marina, which is the venue for the event, is perched at the north-facing top of the capital island of Zealand, at the southern end of the Kattegat. Famed for its sandy beaches and ideal sailing conditions, the Hornbæk area is often dubbed Scandinavia’s Riviera.

 

Prevailing north and northwesterlies, interesting currents and few windless days have made the area a favoured sailing location for Dragons in particular.ᅠThe venue has previously hosted the Dragon Worlds and both Danish and open Dragon championships, asᅠwell as national championships for several other classes.

A highly experienced team of race officers, affiliated staff and general event managers, willᅠmake the 2016 Dragon Gold Cup the sporting event of the year in the region, with both sporting and social events gearedᅠto the large number of international competitors who will be taking part in the event.

 

The Notice of Race and other information will be published on this website shortly, giving participants theᅠopportunity to register for the event.
