Key Specifications
Description
**DRAGONFLY 28 SPORT**
*Exceptional steering pleasure, active safety, and absolute versatility*
Offered in a remarkable state of preservation and maintenance, this **Dragonfly 28 Sport (2013)** represents the undisputed reference for fast cruising trimarans. Combining the demands of Scandinavian construction (Quorning Boats shipyard) with top-notch sailing performance, this sailboat is aimed at sailors seeking a perfect compromise between speed, active safety, and exploration capability.
PERFORMANCE & SENSATIONS: THE PLEASURE OF PURE SAILING
**Optimized sail plan (Sport Rigging):** Equipped with the extended mast specific to the Sport version and a generous sail plan (fully battened mainsail and furling jib). The unit offers immediate acceleration in light breezes and smooth passage through swells.
**Steering feel & Balance:** The finesse of the tiller provides direct, neutral, and responsive steering sensations. While sailing, the stabilized heel angle (less than 8°–10°) ensures a flat sailing dynamic, reducing crew fatigue and maximizing comfort at sea.
**Exceptional marine behavior:** Thanks to high-volume floats and structurally rigid connecting arms, the boat maintains an ideal longitudinal and transverse trim, ensuring high cruising speeds (12–18 knots in complete serenity).
ARCHITECTURE & ACTIVE SAFETY
**Formal stability & Risk reduction:** Unlike a monohull, the form stability provided by the extrados floats offers a high righting moment. Active safety is maximized: no excessive heel, clear deck, and secure movements on the trampolines.
**Modern appendages & Variable draft:**
**Pivoting centerboard (central hull):** In case of high-speed impact with a drifting obstacle or the bottom, the centerboard automatically retracts, preserving the structural integrity of the centerboard well and laminate.
**Extreme draft (0.40 m / 2.54 m):** Offers the possibility of sailing in shallow areas, crossing thresholds, or grounding flat safely.
**Patented Swing Wing system (Hydraulic/mechanical folding):** Allows reducing the beam (width) from 6.50 m to 2.54 m in seconds from the cockpit, without tools. This system allows access to monohull berths and considers road transport on a trailer.
