In this video, Jens and Peter will guide you through the diverse functions you can anticipate on a Dragonfly trimaran. This chapter encompasses the following topics:
• Swing wing system
• Rudder system
• Outboard engine system
• Centerboard system
In this video, you will get basic knowledge and some in-depth explanations of the different boat functions on each Dragonfly version.
Dragonfly Swing Wing System
The Dragonfly Swing Wing system was designed by Børge and Jens Quorning in 1989. Using this revolutionary system, the trimaran can be folded to reduce the beam by more than 50% in less than one minute per side, using no tools and operating only from the cockpit.
Fun for cruising and racing
Dragonfly 28 is a fantastic boat for cruising with family and friends. There is plenty of deck space due to the two large trampolines, upright sailing, and huge stability. Easy to helm, even a kid can helm the boat as the tiller is always in full balance. You don’t need a big crew for racing, and often the boats are sailed singlehanded.
The exclusive and functional interior on every Dragonfly trimaran
The Dragonfly 28 offers a remarkably versatile and functional interior below deck. It features a large double V-berth forward with optional sliding doors. The sliding door between the main cabin and toilet easily integrates this section with the forward cabin and offers you space for dressing in private. The surprisingly spacious heads have a marine toilet, sink, and integrated locker. The main cabin offers comfortable seating for up to 8 people around the large folding table, and this converts to two full-size single berths in seconds.
The aft berth below the cockpit can easily be accessed by folding up the companionway stairs. All five berths are 2 m long, and V-berth is 2.0 m. The standing headroom is 1.82 m in the main cabin. The spacious galley includes worktops on both sides and integrated storage lockers. A two-burner stove, fridge and diesel heating are optional. The images show the optional Elm finish and wood finish, while a lighter maple finish is standard.
