Promoted by J. M. Masso, Commodore of the Real Club Nautico de Vigo from 1959-1960, we built 3 boats following Dragon Class Rules:
- TAMBO, for the Navy School at Marin.
- NORTE VIII, for J. M. Masso.
- FROALLO, for Román F. Dávila.
The last one was exported in 1962 to Niels Erhordt from Denmark, who named her Joker. In 1965 he sold her to his compatriot Hamdrup, who sold her in 1976 to another Dane H.W. Bendixen-Hansen. He sold her again in 1996 to the Swede Lars Arneborg, who named her ISLOM.

A Spanish owner recovered this historic jewel for the city of Vigo. This Dragon, after having passed through five different owners from three different countries, is still in good shape, preserving her varnished mahogany topsides.
In these pictures, you can see Islom in the Classic Boat Race of the R.C.N. de Vigo.
