help Dragonfly 1000 FAQ
Can the Dragonfly 1000 fit into a normal marina berth?
Its Swing Wing system folds the floats inward, reducing the beam from about 7.6 metres to roughly 3.8 metres. Quorning Boats designed the system so the trimaran can remain folded while occupying a marina berth.
Is the Dragonfly 1000 suitable for offshore cruising?
The Dragonfly 1000 was built as a fast cruising trimaran and has Category A offshore certification. Its published capacities include approximately 100 litres of fresh water and a payload near 1,000 kilograms.
How shallow can a Dragonfly 1000 sail?
With the centreboard raised, its draft is approximately 0.5 metres, which supports shallow-water cruising. Lowering the board increases the draft to around 1.6 to 1.7 metres for improved upwind performance.
What model replaced the Dragonfly 1000?
Quorning Boats replaced the Dragonfly 1000 with the Dragonfly 32. Both are folding trimarans, but the 32 belongs to a newer generation of the Danish yard's cruising designs.
