DRAGONFLY 28 – FAMILY CRUISER & RACER

DF 28 OVERVIEW

Dragonfly 28 is the ultimate trailerable trimaran. Jens Quorning calls it the ‘Swiss Army knife’ of his range; compact, versatile and multifunctional. As a result it is our most popular model, with almost 250 built.

DF 28 is available in Touring and Performance versions, but the accommodation is the same in both. However Performance has a taller carbon rig and more powerful floats, which offer a more dynamic sailing experience. As a result, each boat is optimised to its owner’s wishes.

Dragonfly 28 trimaran is for the modern sailor, who demands multiple roles from his boat. It’s as happy gliding up to your favourite beach for a family picnic as it is exhilarating on the race course. Separate cabins, a generous galley and an enclosed heads with marine WC all ensure your family are comfortable and have privacy when cruising.

The Swing Wing system allows it to fold quickly to access a single marina berth or the road trailer. This is operated from the cockpit in less than 1 minute per side, and without any tools. The kick-up centreboard and rudder allow Dragonfly 28 to float in knee-deep water, for easy access to your favourite beach. In addition, huge lockers in the floats accommodate extra sails, inflatable paddle boards, folding bikes etc.

“It’s the most exhilarating sailing I’ve done since a ride on an Extreme 40 cat last year – and I enjoyed it as much”

Toby Hodges, Yachting World

“The fastest touring boat in the World under 30ft”

Yacht magazine

“For the life of me, I cannot understand why multihulls aren’t more popular in the UK. Here is a 28ft yacht that charges around at 15 knots without any effort. She is as close-winded as a monohull, she doesn’t heel more than 15 degrees and has bags of stowage”

Yachting Monthly

“DF 28 was as good as I had hoped, beautifully designed and sailed very well. I am glad that I chose the Touring version, which is right for the solo-sailing I want to do”

Tod W - DF 28 owner

“Even with the log reading speeds in the mid-teens, I didn’t need my oilskin trousers”

Yachting Monthly

“During our test sail we topped 18.7 knots without even trying – this is a seriously quick cruiser-racer”
