Dragonfly35 Boat of the Year from Cruising World

The Dragonfly 36 operates at an entirely different level. While this trimaran would be capable of performing well on a race course, it was envisioned as a performance cruiser and simply exceeds expectations on that front. This is an adventure platform. And a very fast one at that. Dragonfly reinvented their already impressive folding technology by shifting to integrated composite components, increasing stiffness and longevity—like previous models, the amas fold in closely to the main hull to allow for docking in a monohull slip and more flexibility for storage and transport on land. The twin-helm cockpit is designed for shorthanded sailing but leaves plenty of room for guests to be clear of the action. The flexible sail plan, stability, and smooth motion (from the wave-piercing hull), leave any sailor comfortable, and with plenty of room to hit the accelerator. Below deck, the main cabin is warm and bright, with an impressive 6’6” of headroom. It’s easy to imagine yourself gathered around the table with six other friends, recounting the day getting to your remote anchorage and deciding where to rendezvous tomorrow.
