The fifth Dragon Grand Prix Germany switches to the new location Boltenhagen/Baltic Sea at the holiday resort "Wei?e Wiek" from July 10 to 14 2010.
Top class dragon sailors, such as Anatoly Loginov (RUS 27 - World Ranking number one in 2009) and Thomas M?lller (GER 996 - World Ranking number one in 2008) have already registered.
The current European Champion, Markus Wieser (UKR 7) and Winner of the Goldcup, Ms. Ruslana Taran (UKR 9), both members of the sailing team of the main sponsor "TransBunker", will also compete.
The Dragon Grand Prix Germany is the only Grade one event reserved exclusively for the dragon class without other classes competing at the same time.
Moreover, the Dragon Grand Prix Germany will be the precursor for the 2011 European Championship also scheduled to be held at Boltenhagen/Baltic Sea.
The Dragon Grand Prix Germany will start on Saturday, 10 July with a charity event, the Childhood Race, for the benefit of the World Childhood Foundation, founded by Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden.
Many sailors have supported the World Childhood Foundation and, to date, have raised ?946,000 for abused children in the world.
The dragon class, as charity partner of the World Childhood Foundation, expects to exceed the one million Euro mark in Boltenhagen.
