Super helpful video. I love how well thought out the sail control systems are…especially the barberhauls. Launching the spin out of the ama hatch looks very easy.
A Harken Reflex Furler makes launching and retrieving so much easier. The Reflex can be used for Top Down furling or traditional furling. The best of both worlds. You can even sail singlehanded!
great video, nice explination of things, but can you please do a 'rigging' video for this sail, ON the marina, as the lines, here, there, and everywhere can confuse some of us beginners, and esp. if, in the 'winter' we take the sail off the boat completely, for maintanence, or just to stop wear and tear (from salt, water, etc.).
Thanks for the video. But as an owner of a used DF-28 I need to know how to setup the bowsprit. It’s rigged inboard now. Out on the water how do you swing it out and hold it stable? Tom
Thank you for the video. However, for new owners we need to see every step. You did not show removing the main preventer off the port side and then attaching the preventer on the starboard side after the gybe is complete. Also it would be great if you could have a second camera and show Jens pulling the sheet and in a split screen show where the clew of the gennaker is.
Isn't it dangerous to open the float hatch at sea, especially with waves? (btw in British English we say goosewinging rathr than butterfly; in the US it's wing-on-wing ;-)
Just looked that up and it seems like an interesting product but i don't see that it will work well as they demonstrated to use the barberhaul system to trim the gennaker, so it might be a compromise on which is more important.
@ it furls off wind sails. You barber haul the sheets. No problem. What makes the Reflex so fabulous is you can furl assymericals that require top down furling and gennakers that need a standard furling.
"Always have enough water to leeward" is the best tip for any spinnaker/gennaker sailing on any boat. Very good!
Another super video - thank you very much!
Jens and Peter, thanks for your efforts and sharing your knowledge!
Thanks again for a terrific video. It was great to hear from Peter.

Oooo, exciting. A DF video in my inbox 😎
Great demo fellas. Enjoyed it tremendously. Nice light air day to demo the great setup on DF boats. Total class.
This video series is excellent! Thanks.
I would trust this guy with my life. In fact I have. Hey y'all!!
Good on you guys, i like the way you offset the gennaker from the center line. Its a very good solution to optimise the using range of the sail.

Jens and Peter : any vids about the '40' comming up ?
Please.

amazing video, can the barber hauler be used on the 25 as well ?
Do you use the mainsail-preventer with the gennaker also on a DF25sport?

A Reflex Furler by Harker makes this so much easier. You can fly any kind of downwind sail.

Great video, thanks. As a new owner of a 920 I’d appreciate any advice on the use of the preventer. Where does it attach to the boat?
Are you sure you have a preventer and not a boom brake? Ive seen preventers attached to traveler cleats before, but dont know if that is proper.
are these tri's easy to single handed sail?
Have you considered using a Harken Reflex Furler instead of a sock? Much easier.
great video, but I recon you should remove the ads
I would like to visit your company and sail the dragonfly 40 , l currently live in Annapolis USA 🇺🇸.
When Im a rich man. I`l captain on a Dragonfly 😎
Spinnakers, genakers, parasails etc should be removed from multihulls because pitchpolling risk, instead people should use kites or parachutes
olways in low wind , dont see one video in strong wind ,,

There is this one of the DF40.
