► Full test in Multihulls World N°202: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/trimaran/dragonfly-36-performance-for-gliding-along-as-fast-as-the-wind ► While boot Düsseldorf, the world’s largest indoor boat show, might not be bursting at the seams with sail-cruising multihulls, the 2025 edition of the event is nonetheless the setting for an unmissable preview - we’re talking about the Dragonfly 36! Quorning Boats has always been a staunch supporter of this German boat show – in fact, 5 years ago, it was here that the manufacturer’s previous new model, the Dragonfly 40, was unveiled. But back to the 36: This trimaran, which can still be folded thanks to its further optimized Swing Wing system, has taken two and a half years to develop. In terms of design, this all-new model is the first Dragonfly to feature three inverted bows - until now, the central hull has always retained a traditional bow shape. Unsurprisingly, the 36 is available in both Touring and Performance versions, the latter having a rig 2 meters (6½ feet) taller. What’s more unusual is that the profile is in carbon on both models. Below deck, the new interior design features double cabins forward and aft, a separate bathroom, a fully equipped galley and a spacious saloon. The standard finish is in ash, with elm as an option. By the time we visited, on day 3 of the boat show, the yard had already taken 15 orders. The Dragonfly 36 is looking like a best-seller... We’ve already made an appointment for a test sail. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Quorning Boats Architects: Olsen Design/Quorning Boats ApS Length: 37’11”/44’1” (11.55/13.43 m) Beam: 26’8”/12’2” (8.12/3.7 m) Waterline length: 35’9” (10.9 m) Draft: 2’2”/6’7” (0.67/2 m) Light displacement: 9,925 lbs (4.5 t) Mainsail: 645 or 753 sq ft (60 or 70 m²) Self-tacking jib: 215 or 269 sq ft (20 or 25 m²) Genoa: 323 or 414 sq ft (30 or 38.5 m²) Gennaker: 1,184 or 1,615 sq ft (110 or 150 m²) Motor: 30 or 40 HP Fuel: 23 US gal (90 l) Water: 52 US gal (200 l) CE Category: A5/B7 ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!
