The Dragonfly 28 sets new standards for the possibilities of a sailing boat. The perfect boat does not exist - but the Dragonfly 28 is very close to this ideal. New facelift design for all Dragonfly 28 models. The Dragonfly 28 comes in both a Touring and Sport version, and, introducing 2016 the new Dragonfly 28 Performance version.
Great fun and easy handling - accommodating 5 people. The Dragonfly 28 is for the modern sailor, who requires multiple possibilities from his vessel. This boat is all about possibilities, fun - and above all, excellent sailing abilities. The Dragonfly 28 comes in three versions - the Touring version represents the trailable family cruiser, whereas the Sport version is the trailable In- and Offshore Racer. The new 2016 Performance version with new wavepiercing float design calls for the ultimate performance.

It's either a very good marketing clip, that catches the audience from the first second, or its just a very very honest great review, where you can feel the passion on the side of the boat builder and the test sailor..
Loved the video and love the boat.
Thank you very much, this was not a marketing trick, the enthusiasm was real. First time on a trimaran for test sailor Jens Lindemann and me (behind the camera). And the day could not have been any better, 20 + knots, sunshine and flat water...
I love the under 30’ folding trimarans (with a head), and this DF28 is on my “unaffordable” wishlist. Perhaps one day.
My god, i would give both of my kidneys for this boat. what an absolute masterpiece. Great work mr.Quorning!
i know Im randomly asking but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost the password. I love any tips you can give me.
@Kannon Bradley instablaster ;)
@Camden Mayson thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Yes,built in fantastic😍😍😍
Great review. Vielen Dank! Tak!
Loved the boat, an honest appraisal, performance is off the scale. Pricey but then again you don't get an oven in a Ferarri
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
belles félicitations Trimaran !!! vous auriez une conception et plus simple pour moi de construire ma propre, embrasse plus petit.
Great design and beautiful to sail I only wish I could afford one
Maybe one day!
Leuk!!
Excellent video
Make one absolutely Spartan, allowing the customer to furnish it as desired, thus lowering the price a bit
there's a few in our area, though I haven't seen any in our major channel areas.......just wondering.....(Molokai channel) :-}
These Dragonfly's look amazing! Need to pinch pennies for several years it looks like... :\
The Dragon Fly 28 seems to be the perfect boat...We just purchased a 2020 Corsair 880 Sport, not sure how it compares to the Dragon Fly but it fits all of our needs.....
@sc1212able Congratulations to your new Corsair 880. I guess it also a lot of fun. I guess it is quite a bit more affordable than the Dragonfly, and on the other hand you don't get that extra premium Scandinavian build quality?
I’d love to see a comparison between the DF28 & corsair 880. Both very intriguing. Was “Scandinavian build quality” a pun? or is there more to the remark and could you explain to this novice.
Is this boat ok for cruising? Or what would be the smallest size for a trimaran that has folding hulls for cruising / ocean crossing?
DrPhlox more than this maybe the 35 foot but even that can be sketchy
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...
@@maddocmucmaddocmuc5341 at 7:00 Jens Quorning is playing the spinnaker; he eases it a little. The trimaran-novice tester is at the helm.
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.
+Ed Loki There is a video of a Dragonfly 32 passing a 50 foot racing monohull in very rough conditions.
ruclips.net/video/PjNiPmvKOW8/видео.html Yacht delivery from Flensburg, Germany to Canary Islands. I think they had sea state 6.
❤️ ⛵️
Most of the time I am all about how it sails, but gosh golly gee wiz, show me the interior. How am I going to live?
Hi Gregory, the "below decks" section starts at 02:52 Enjoy!
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 ???
+Nigel Loller I'm pretty sure it could handle it, the beams that hold the outriggers are really thick.
How is this labelled for reuse?
Sorry, I don't get the question?
The cost of the 28 eliminates me. So far, the top of my list is the astus 22.5
Wenn Monohull dann nur Pogo. Zwar nicht ganz so schnell, dafür günstiger und mehr Platz. Ein Vergleichstest zwischen Pogo 850 oder 30 und Dragonfly 28 wäre geil.
Da ist was dran, Kreandi
А если перевернуться то можно вернуть его обратно?
Bottom line is you should not flip it. As yard owner Jens Quorning explains in this video, it typically happens when people lose their heads while racing.
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
how many people does it take to sail it?
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.
I regularly sail her single handed, even with the asymmetric. It’s part of the appeal, being able to do that and helps you get out more often, rather than needing crew.
150k isn’t that much.relative to other boats on the market . I’ve seen mono hulls and cats that cost way more than that.
Has anyone sailed these around the world?
Dragonflys in general, yes. Don't know about this specific model, but it's possible.
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
Get a life whiner
