DRAGONFLY 25 – WEEKEND RACER & CRUISER

DF 25 OVERVIEW

Dragonfly 25 is a high performance trimaran for sport and racing sailors. The concept is simple – it’s easy to sail even single-handed, trailerable behind a normal family car, and the mast can even be stepped alone. In conclusion, this is the all-purpose, multifunctional multihull.

Dragonfly 25 is a great daysailer, a weekend cruiser with family and friends, or an exhilarating race boat. Two versions are offered, to suit different sailing styles. Dragonfly 25 Touring is ideal for family sport cruising. On the other hand, Dragonfly 25 Sport with its taller carbon wing mast suits more dynamic sailing and racing. However, both versions feature a self-tacking jib for easy upwind sailing. In addition, all sail controls are led to the cockpit. Therefore solo-sailing is easy and fun. Finally, a Code 0 or gennaker ensure maximum downwind thrills.

Dragonfly 25 accommodates 3 adults, or 2 adults plus 2 children, in an open-plan cabin with seated headroom. Although compact, the cabin is beautifully finished and offers plenty of stowage, which is supplemented by large lockers in the floats. Meanwhile, the kick-up rudder and centreboard allow your Dragonfly to float in knee-deep water. As a result, you’re free to to glide right up to your favourite beach and simply walk ashore.

The Swing Wing system allows your Dragonfly 25 to fold to fit a single marina berth, or the road trailer. Folding the floats out only takes around 30 seconds per side. Firstly by pulling a rope, followed by a turn of the winch to set the trampoline tension.

As it’s so light, it can be towed behind a normal family car and set-up time from trailer to sailing can be as little as 30 minutes with 2 people. However the mast can even be raised solo.

We were very proud when Dragonfly 25 was awarded the prestigious title of European Yacht of the Year 2016, in the Multihull category.

“Perched out on a float, tiller in hand, I found the 25 nothing short of exhilarating”

“DF 25 never fails to bring a smile to our faces and whenever I have taken out a cynical monohull sailor, they come back converted.”

“It was perhaps unfair to compare the other boats against a Dragonfly. In virtually any breeze these Danish trimarans will outperform any other production yacht.”

“Why cruise at 6 knots when you can do 12, or 18 for that matter?”

“We moved from a 42 ft cruiser, wanting something agile and fun again, as we missed going out for a blast with friends. Build quality is high and DF 25 satisfies my need for well engineered equipment that simply works.”

“What a boat! I still cannot get over the fact it is just 25 ft. The use of apparent wind to get movement out of the boat in such light airs is nothing short of magic.”
