help Dragonfly 28 FAQ
How does the Dragonfly 28 become narrow enough for a marina berth or trailer?
Quorning Boats uses its Swing Wing system to fold both amas toward the central hull. The process reduces the trimaran's beam without dismantling the crossbeams and can be performed while the boat is afloat.
Can a Dragonfly 28 be launched from a normal slipway?
It is designed as a trailerable trimaran and can be launched while folded, then expanded once it is in the water. The towing vehicle, trailer, local weight limits, and ramp geometry still need to suit the specific boat and equipment package.
What is the difference between Dragonfly 28 Touring and Performance versions?
The Touring configuration prioritizes manageable cruising, while the Performance model uses a taller rig and greater sail area for more speed. Quorning Boats has also offered a Sport version, so buyers should confirm the exact rig and specification of any used example.
Does the Dragonfly 28 sail like a conventional 28-foot monohull?
No. Its trimaran platform provides strong initial stability and high reaching speeds without relying on a deep weighted keel. It also accelerates and responds to sail changes differently, so multihull reefing and load management remain important.
