help Dragonfly 800 FAQ
Is the Dragonfly 800 a catamaran or a trimaran?
The Dragonfly 800 is a trimaran with one central hull and two folding outer floats. It was designed by Børge Quorning and built in Denmark by Quorning Boats.
How narrow does a Dragonfly 800 become when folded?
The Swing Wing version has a sailing beam of about 6 meters and a folded beam of roughly 2.9 meters. Folding the floats makes marina berths, canals, and road transport more manageable than they would be at full width.
How many people is the Dragonfly 800 designed to carry?
The manufacturer's specification lists a maximum of four people under CE Category C. The cabin is compact, so it is better suited to small crews and short cruising than to the accommodation expected on a large cruising catamaran.
What is the difference between the cruising and racing Dragonfly 800?
The racing specification carries a taller mast and larger sail plan than the cruising model. Both versions share an 8-meter center hull and the distinctive Dragonfly folding system.
