► 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!

Competent Crew Course details: ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew This short clip of a Competent Crew course shows how to position the sheet lead car. The 'car' is something the genoa sail sheet passes through and we can adjust it's position along the deck to alter the angle that the sheet pulls down of the genoa. You will see how we need to set the sheet lead car for the headsail to the forward end of the track to allow the sail to adopt a fuller shape. We set it like this when the wind is coming from behind the boat. When we're sailing to windward (when the wind is forward of the beam of the yacht), we want the sail to have a flatter shape, so set the sheet lead car to the aft end of the track. ** About the RYA Competent Crew course in Southampton ** The RYA Competent Crew course is the perfect introduction for beginners who want to get into sailing and is specifically designed for those with little to no sailing experience. It is the ideal starting point. Even if you’ve only had a brief taste of sailing, whether in the UK or abroad, the Competent Crew course offers structured learning and a strong foundation in the basics of sailing. We run our courses from Southampton, and they take place in and around the Solent. With First Class Sailing you’ll gain hands-on experience, experience life on board, and all the enjoyment it brings. By the end of the 5 day course, you’ll have the skills and confidence to be a capable and reliable crew member.
