help Dragonfly 920 FAQ
How does the Dragonfly 920 fit into a normal marina berth?
Quorning Boats' Swing Wing system folds the two outer hulls toward the center hull while the boat remains afloat. The standard 920's sailing beam is about 6.8 meters and its folded beam is roughly 3.1 meters.
What is the difference between the Dragonfly 920 Touring and Extreme versions?
The Extreme version uses a taller, more performance-oriented rig and was aimed at sailors prioritizing speed. Touring models favor cruising practicality, so mast, sail area, payload, and replacement-rig details should be checked on any used boat.
Can a Dragonfly 920 sail in shallow water?
Its centerboard and lifting rudder reduce draft to roughly 0.45 meters when raised. That makes shallow approaches and beaching more practical than on a fixed-keel monohull of similar length.
What replaced the Dragonfly 920 in Quorning's range?
The Dragonfly 32 became its larger modern successor after production of the 920 ended in the late 2000s. Used 920 buyers should inspect the folding system, beam hinges, rigging, and any model-specific structural updates rather than judging the boat only by its sails and engine.
