how many people does it take to sail it?

YACHTFILM - 4 years ago

Bluejay Woman : can definitely be sailed with two people. You may want a third person to fly the Asymetric, depending on your skill level. The snuffer makes it fairly easy, however.

7:00 von wegen nicht beeinflusst!
Dein Heck hat es soweit aus dem Wasser gehoben dass das Ruderblatt zur Haelfte draussen war! Da würde man sich doch dynamischen Auftrieb vorne an den Amas wünschen...

genau deswegen gibt es mittlerweile ja den 28 Performance, nochmal deutlich schneller und dass nur durch verbesserte Schwimmer/Amas

Lovely I'm gonna buy two tickets one of the euromillions and the second will be the one of freedom

Though I like all boats, this one makes my mouth water ( & that's what its time to head for?)
CHEERS!

Danke für das sehr informative Video und die schönen Segelbilder. Ich konnte das Boot bei der Hanseboot 2017 sowie das Dragonfly 32 in Augenschein nehmen und es gefällt mir sehr gut. Der Preis ist erheblich aber die Leistung und Verarbeitung überzeugen. Ich möchte auch mal so mit 20 Knoten segeln. LG

These Dragonfly's look amazing! Need to pinch pennies for several years it looks like... :\

Excellent video
Make one absolutely Spartan, allowing the customer to furnish it as desired, thus lowering the price a bit

Is this boat ok for cruising? Or what would be the smallest size for a trimaran that has folding hulls for cruising / ocean crossing?

look her:

It is a '35 Dragonfly on its way to the canary islands in good wind and waves with maximum reefs and 7.5 knots speed. Skipper states he did it this slow for the benefit of the expensive sails (!?) Whatever, hull form or sails, boat does seem fit for u s i n g - i t - a t - l o w - s p e e d in blue water if you do everything very carefully. Very Understandable. If you are forced to drive a Lotus on a bumpy road you would not speed either. This is a Lotus.
I had chartered a Tri (neel 45) in the mediterranean sea this summer which is a complete different concept. I do fall for the technical chichi of the dragonfly and the trailerability but I must admit that at beaufort 6 on the large neel 45 I was extremely happy that 13 knots of speed at 50° with jib and main (2 reefs) or 120° with Jib alone did not come at the price of an undercutting ama or even water washing on the bridge. 2 different boats, 2 different concepts, 2 different prices. But if you look at 7:00 in this video you can clearly see that the dragonfly buries the lee ama (it raises its stern out of the water to the rudderblade beeing 50% exposed). This was with Mr. Quorning who does not do anything else than Tri constructing, building and sailing at the helm. But is a very dangerous situation even on flat water. If this happens when going down a wave the boat shall be out of control some seconds later, I presume...

DrPhlox more than this maybe the 35 foot but even that can be sketchy

Has anyone sailed these around the world?

Erik Haccou - 7 years ago

mir stört bei diesem Film die Sprache weil den Titel im English ist hatte ich einfach Englisch erwartet auch wenn die Untertitel im Englisch ist höre ich lieber Englisch

Alexander Medeiros - 8 years ago

Leuk!!

Ed Loki - 8 years ago

Anyone out there have actual videos of these same trimarans sailing in sea-state 5 and up?

They always show videos of these boats in flat water.

CockatooDude - 8 years ago

+Ed Loki There is a video of a Dragonfly 32 passing a 50 foot racing monohull in very rough conditions.

Nigel Loller - 9 years ago

What happens if you sail it into the back of a wave, with the leward hull already overpressed...all the overpowered shots were in flat calm water...I live in the channel Islands, and when there is 20 knts of wind , there is also some sea running,sometimes wind over tide conditions that throw up steep waves ???

CockatooDude - 8 years ago

+Nigel Loller I'm pretty sure it could handle it, the beams that hold the outriggers are really thick.
