Dragonfly Trimarans are built in Denmark to extremely high standards by Quorning Boats. The current Dragonfly range extends from the trailerable 25 and 28 footers, up to the larger 32 and 40 foot models. All Dragonfly Trimarans employ their hallmark “swing wing” system for retracting the floats for docking or in the case of the 25 and 28 for easy trailering. One feature of this system is that the floats remain in the vertical orientation, which is an advantage when keeping the boat in a slip because it eliminates the issue of fouling of the outside surfaces of the floats. Another hallmark of Dragonfly trimarans is their attention to detail in the interior design and finish, creating a beautiful comfortable place to spend time inside the boat.

DRAGONFLY 32 – PERFORMANCE CRUISER

DF 32 OVERVIEW

Dragonfly 32 is a fun and comfortable trimaran for offshore cruising in the fast lane, often with double-digit speeds on the log..

With more than 50 years of design and production experience of World-class trimarans, Dragonfly have combined elegant and functional design for easy handling with crew, as well as singlehanded sailing.

The helm remains light in all conditions, thanks to the natural balance of a trimaran. The narrow hulls slice smoothly through the waves, and as a result there is no pounding upwind. Huge stability minimises heeling, and prevents rolling down wind.

Dragonfly 32 offers 6 berth accommodation, with two cabins and generous headroom. It is offered in two versions, Touring and the new Evolution which features new wave-piercing floats plus a taller, more powerful rig.

Large lockers in the floats store extra sails, folding bikes and all your cruising gear.

 Kick-up rudder and centreboard give access to shallow anchorages. As a result, you enjoy those perfect spots denied to other yachts. At anchor Dragonfly 32 feels like your own private island, because there’s space to spread out. The trampolines are perfect for sun-worshipers, and a great platform to rig a windsurfer.

The Swing Wing system allows Dragonfly 32 to fold quickly to reduce beam by 50%, without using any tools. As a result, it fits a single marina berth.

“It may come as a surprise to hear many sailors talk about a Dragonfly topping their dreamboat wishlist. Sail one, however, and you understand immediately. These Danish trimarans fly, but are also seaworthy and solid”

“The performance of my Dragonfly 32 Touring has exceeded expectations at every turn.   I have cruised the west coast of Scotland extensively, and found the DF 32 to be a comfortable, fast cruising boat in all conditions.”

“Our trip was 1,900nm from South Africa to Tanzania with top winds at 48 knots and breaking seas of 7-8m. The boat never once missed a step. I can’t recommend the Dragonfly 32 enough”

“At 10 – 12 knots, and 30° to the apparent wind, tacking close to the shore, the Dragonfly gave us a real demonstration! Some monohulls, close-hauled and grinding the winches, were quickly left behind”

Dragonfly 32

• By By Mark Pillsbury
• Updated: November 20, 2015

It was drizzling and chilly the day the Boat of the Year team paid a dockside visit to the Dragonfly 32 Supreme during last fall’s U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis. With a half-dozen of us packed into the slender cabin to hear the builder explain the concept behind the Danish-built trimaran, I recall it being pleasant enough, but, well, tight. It reminded me of the way monohull sailboats used to feel down below, before designers started to widen things up to put three sleeping cabins, two heads and a full saloon into that size of a footprint.

When a few folks moved topsides, though, it was easy to picture a couple or a small family nestled into the two settees that flank the centerline drop-leaf table, the boat rocking gently in some shallow, quiet cove. Between the V-berth forward, the comfy foldout settees, and a crawl-in double tucked away behind the companionway ladder, there’d be plenty of room for everyone to sleep. In the fully equipped galley, the cook could whip up tasty meals over the course of a two- or three-week cruise. And with the pop-up centerboard and draft of just over a foot and a half (6 feet 3 inches, board down), heck, you could just about park the boat on the beach when it came time to jump in for a dip.

With its outriggers folded in, the ­Dragonfly fits into a conventional 12-foot-wide slip. But with the amas folded out to their full 26-foot beam, the Dragonfly’s sharp entry and sleek lines suggested only good things could happen when the square-top main was set along with the 100 percent working jib for tacking upwind, or with the screacher rolled out off the breeze.

And only good things did.

A few days later I boarded the boat with the judges again, this time out on Chesapeake Bay, and as quick as you could say “trim that sheet,” we were off to the races and having a ball. In about 12 knots of breeze we saw speeds in the 8-plus-knot range under the jib, and better than 13 knots with the big foresail set on a reach.

BOTY judge Tim Murphy pretty much summed it up when he recalled afterward, “What a fun boat to sail — holy cow!” His colleague Ed Sherman added, “I’m impressed with the quality of that boat. It had some of the lowest noise ratings of all the boats we tested, which was mind-boggling to me because this is sort of a light boat. My expectation was it was going to be noisy, slamming around out there, but that wasn’t the case.”

Indeed, in somewhat lumpy conditions, the tri danced across the waves, heeling only a few degrees as the amas dipped in and went to work translating wind speed directly into boat speed.

The Dragonfly comes in a couple of configurations. The touring version includes an aluminum mast and boom, a 25-horsepower outboard engine, and tiller steering (a wheel is optional). We sailed the racer model, with a carbon rig 2 meters taller. The boat also had the optional 20-horsepower Yanmar diesel and saildrive.

The Dragonfly isn’t a cheap boat. The base price is $350,000, and the version we sailed had a price tag of about $400,000. But the build quality was impressive, and the equipment and hardware were top-shelf. For the monohull sailor looking for a turn of speed not possible in your traditional racer/cruiser, along with standing headroom and volume to carry family or crew in comfort, it’s a boat that would definitely merit a test sail. If you take one, I’m guessing you’ll come back grinning.

32′ dragonfly – setting the highest standards for mid sized trimarans.

Gallery Images

• ".$thumbs[$i]."

This listing is for a new build Dragonfly 32 trimaran with 5 months delivery. The new Dragonfly 32 trimaran is a brand new, modern and dynamic trimaran design that is setting the highest benchmarks in multihull functionality and performance. As most of the Dragonfly trimarans, the beautiful curved floats can swing in to reduce the beam to monohull size – a huge bonus for trailering and docking. For the very first time at Dragonfly/Quorning Boats, the combination of finite-element technology with material and stress analysis creates a perfect balance of design and material compositions.

Quorning Boats take great pleasure in introducing the new Dragonfly 32′ which is filling the gap between the Dragonfly 28 and Dragonfly 35 trimaran. The boat offers a huge cockpit, which offers space enough for the whole crew. All halyards and lines are led to the cockpit for easy and safe handling – perfect also for shorthanded sailing. The floats are designed even bigger – compared to Dragonfly’s previous designs which makes the trimaran more powerful and fast. The Dragonfly 32 trimaran offers fun and safe family sailing yet has the potential for serious ocean racing.

Traditional construction

All Dragonflys are made of foam/glass/polyester sandwich. The materials and processes used are medium-tech for this type of multihull. Checkered foam is not the lightest structural core - it absorbs excess resin in the grooves between the small gaps in the Airex pattern - but it allows some flexibility for shaping. The various large sections, such as decks and hulls are glued together on wide covering lips after the structural bulkheads and some of the internal fittings have been installed. The arms, subjected to high stresses - torsion and compression -, are made of vinylester resin with superior mechanical characteristics. All parts are manufactured manually in female molds by contact lamination, without infusion. This production organization is made possible by the architecture of independent workshops at the Skaerbek plant, which sequence a careful and rigorous manufacturing process despite the choice of a rather conservative technical process.

The horizontal folding swing wing

The folding mode of the Dragonfly 32, like all the other models in the range, is entrusted to horizontal kinematics, unlike the Corsairs, which have adopted Ian Farrier'...
