Dragonfly 800 trimaran - a silent presentation of the Dragonfly 800 SW (Swing Wing) MK3

A short videopresentation of the Dragonfly 800 SW Cruising. This is a 1990 model, hull no. 154. It was completely dismantled and painted with Hempel PolyGloss 2 component, above waterline, both outside and inside during winter 2019/2020. It is now pure white, so it no longer has the original shade of white which was more offwhite. Previous owner refurbished below waterline some years ago.
The mast has also been changed previously, but is original specs and delivered from Quorning Boats. The sails are from Gran and are quite new, and slightly above the cruising specs.
This hull shows few signs of wear, and there are no serious issues to find. It seems to me that the Dragonfly´s are very well made, and build to last a long time when treated well. Kudos to Quorning Boats and their workers.

Thanks for your kind comment. :-)

[@rolfknudsen2009]

Love the boat! What was the process with the PolyGloss work? Did you do it yourself? Did you spray? Dit you remove all fittings and winches?

[@hsobstad]

Yes the boat is painted with Hempel Polygloss. My own work yes. I used roller and then brush to smooth out and remove bubbles. And yes, I removed everything to do things right. Thanks :-)

@@hsobstad Great, thanks! Sold my DF800 800 and bought a DF920 (family) and have upgrade the over water hull finish, so this could be the way to do it.

@@rolfknudsen2009 It´s a lot of work, but the upgrade in looks is great. I painted all of the fibreglass inside boat as well. Including the inside of the amas. Sounds great with the DF920. Probably quite a lot of extra space. I have bought a Fisher 30 Northeaster. The very opposite of Dragonfly on the sailing speed scale. So refurbishment all over again... :-)

[@rolfknudsen2009]

@@hsobstad I can imagine it was a lot of work, and it shows! And yes, extra space and toilet! Good luck with the Fisher 30, sounds like a good boat!

@@hsobstad Congratulations with the Fisher. From one end of the spectrum to another! What do you like about your new boat and what do you miss most about the old one?

Crystal clear water

[@hsobstad]

Yes, we are lucky that way. Might sometimes get slightly clouded due to organic growth during summer.

[@ErikKlepsvik]

Is the boat for sale?

[@hsobstad]

It was. Sold in May.
