Skanör blir en av fyra värdhamnar för International Dragon Associations Grade 1 2025. De tre andra är Cascais i Portugal, Attersee i Österrike och Cannes i Frankrike. I samband med detta avgörs också SM i Draken-segling.
Draken är en nio meter lång segelbåt med klassiska linjer som konstruerades på västkusten 1929 och blev en av världens största kölbåtsklasser. Den seglades i OS fram till 1976. Nu byggs Draken i moderna material, men en del av de stolta traditionerna bevaras.
Skanörs Båtklubb räknar med ett 40-tal deltagare, varav flera ur världseliten. Det blir en av de största seglingarna i klubbens historia. Datum: 30 juli-2 augusti.
