Allen Brothers in the UK and the Farr X2 team have been working very hard on the design of a new Rudder Cassette system exclusively for the Farr X2. Stern hung rudders were always in the design brief for two reasons, the main reason based on experience from the Mini Transat 6.5 Series class. Where Bret Perry spent 6 years in the fleet and it was a rule in the series (production) class that kick up rudders were not legal. But the hull design meant twin rudders were the only real option and in the case of an impact the rudder, gudgeons or transom would take the load and could be damaged. With under boat twin rudders in an impact can be a lot worse, leading to severe hull damage, which can lead to potential life threatening situations. So, the team put their thinking caps on to design an impact kick up system for stern hung rudders. The design team went to work and it is now a reality. A share pin designed to break at 100 kg will allow the rudder to kick upon impact. A spare pin will allow you to re set and continue on your way. " Its a safety thing" says Bret Perry. " Hitting an object anytime can be dangerous so being able to minimize the damage to the boat and stay safe as well is critical when your offshore." "With more and more objects in the water the Farr X2 impact fuse rudder cassette system provides that little bit extra peace of mind while out there performing at your best" Perry added.

Full test in Multihulls World N°202: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/trimaran/dragonfly-36-performance-for-gliding-along-as-fast-as-the-windWe had the opportunity to sail aboard the Dragonfly 36, recently elected Multihull of the Year in the Sport Sailing category, in the company of Jens Quorning, the head of the shipyard which bears his name. This trimaran, in its Performance version (with a rig that is over six feet / 2 meters taller) is undoubtedly a fast and enjoyable multihull to sail. Without too much effort, you can be sailing at the windspeed... In terms of design, the 36 is the first Dragonfly to feature three inverted bows - until now, the central hull has always retained a traditional bow shape. 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. Like all Dragonfly models, this trimaran can be folded thanks to its optimized Swing Wing system. It takes just 1 minute and 30 seconds to reduce the width from 26’8” (8.12 m) down to 12’2” (3.7 m). As for the pivoting appendages, they make it very easy to take the ground, as we were able to see for ourselves. By the end of the International Multihull Show, the shipyard had already taken 27 orders, representing more than two years’ worth of production...
