We are proud of the new Dragonfly 28, which 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.
The Dragonfly 28 is a brand new concept line in the Dragonfly range. The boat sets new standards for leisure and flexibiility on the water and on wheels. The Dragonfly 28 has been a lifelong dream of Jens Quorning, who designed and developed this complex boat with his co-designer Steen Olsen. The development took almost 2 years – now the boat is a reality. This boat is the ultimate combination of design and function. This is a 28′ foldable and trailable trimaran, which means that you have all the benefits and features from a trimaran on the water -allowing speeds up to 20+ knots, shallow draft of only 0.4 m and super comfort while sailing, as the boat is hardly heeling. The boat offers five full size comfortable berths of each 2 m, a nice main cabin with excellent view and a very big cockpit for the whole family. On the trailer you can average 45 knots – launch and rig the boat yourself with a set-up time of 30 to 40 minutes.
The Dragonfly trimarans really shines when it comes to usable versatility, sometimes it’s quite fun to see what sailors come up with when playing.
The Dragonfly 28 appeals to both family sailing and racing alike – just hit the cruising speed that makes you all smile. Compared to monohulls, the trimaran is so much more comfortable to sail. Furthermore, you have a much longer range on the water, or you get to your destination in a shorter time.
The boat is easy to sail even for one person – all in all a multifunctional multihul…

The boat has a standing headroom of 1.85 m in the main cabin as well as a generous galley space on each side. The spacious dinette offers a nice view outside, similar to a deck saloon yacht. A fridge box is available in the right position of the galley work space. The big double trampolines offer the perfect sun deck – like on a super yacht!
