The new 36-foot trimaran from Denmark’s Dragonfly is a versatile boat with incredible speed potential. The 36 is offered in a touring or performance version, the main differences being mast height and, accordingly, sail area. Weighing just under 10,000 pounds (13,000 pounds kitted up), The Dragonfly 36 is capable of speeds up to 23 knots, with easy cruising at 10-15 knots. The two-zone cockpit keeps sailhandling and helming aft, while the forward area undisturbed. One of the most eye-catching features of the new design the “swing wing” system. Introduced in 1989, and further refined on this model, it folds this trimaran’s wings to transform it essentially into a monohull, reducing its beam from about 27 feet to just over 12 feet and enabling it to fit into a standard slip or even on a trailer. Hull No. 1 debuted at the Düsseldorf International Boat Show in January.
