A yard built around one class.
Chang & Sin Yacht has its history rooted in Hong Kong, and builds the Dragon class in partnership with Doomernik Yachts in the Netherlands.
Three models carry the yard’s name: Doomernik, Doomernik Evolution and Model Chris. All are built to be sailed, maintained and handed on.

Shaped by Joop Doomernikâs decades of Dragon research, designed by naval architect Jack Gifford.
From lamination to sea trials.
Lamination. Glass fibre is laid into the mould and left to cure.
Interior fit-out. Joop Doomernik works the inside of the hull by hand.
