The Blue Dragon is a polyethylene training boat, developed by and for sailing schools and associations. The hull of the Blue Dragon consists of two layers of indestructible polyethylene. In between these is a layer of hard foam PE. The volume of foam itself is sufficient to make the Blue Dragon unsinkable.
The polyethylene is stiffer thanks to this new composition, as is the sandwich contruction. The new construction method is also stronger and lighter than all other roto molded trainers. The previous method was a single skin construction which, because of the necessary material thickness, made the boat heavier and the skin more susceptible to cracks.
A polyethylene boat is now not necessarily heavier than a FRP hull thanks to this construction method. The hull of the Blue Dragon has an average thickness of 9 mm, and at 86 pounds (39 kilos) it's also the lightest boat in its class!

The hull is made up of a three layer system which forms a PE sandwich construction. It makes the hull rigid and unsinkable. Also in a hot climate the PE sandwich construction will keep its shape. Storage preferably upside down or even better: straight up on the transom. (make sure to protect the fittings for the rudder)
The advantages of the Trilam are:
- Strong and rigid unsinkable sandwich construction of PE layers between PE foam
- All PE material makes delamination impossible
- Completely sealed and closed foam layer
- No condensation water or moisture collection in foam
- No bacteria growth like in PU foam
- UV proof and colors are integrated in the PE material
