Design & performance.
This boat was built in both a Cruising and a Racing version. Quorning Boats introduced the new Swing Wing system in 1989 on the Dragonfly 800 This invention gave the Dragonfly greater versatility and thereby made it more attractive. Provided with the this new Swing Wing system, the boat took up much less space when in port, and it was a lot easier to transport it on a trailer. From 1989 and well into the new millennium (2005), we have built 143 Dragonfly 800 Swing Wing.
The Dragonfly 800 Swing Wing offers a functional pantry with teak laminated corners.
The centerboard creates the base for salon table, which can be folded down to provide easy passage. The coach can easily be turned into bunks. The forward cabin offers accommodation for two.
All halyards are lines are led to cokcpit for safe and easy family sailing.
The difference between the Crusing and Racing version is in the rig and sails only.

To inform and illustrate recommended service, maintenance, and refitting on an older Dragonfly, we have drawn this general information sheet. Rough elements, like strong winds and wave conditions, strong saltwater and UV do have some impact on the boat after a long sailing life.
We strongly recommend servicing and changing vital parts on your boat according to our recommendations. This information overrules any other former information you may have, as the following is based on updated knowledge.
RIGGING Visual check of all cables is still required when changing the rigging. When trailering the boat, we strongly recommend focusing on side stay cables, as these easily bend when stepping the mast. Bended side stay cables near the terminal may cause the side stay cable to break.
On all Dragonflys, please regularly check the forestay cable in the top by the terminal. When furling, the spinnaker halyard may block the forestay, which can cause failure of the forestay.
TRAMOLINES On all Dragonflys, we recommend re-stitching (sewing) along the seems of the trampolines every 6-7 years (in climates with strong UV, every 5 years). Normally, our clients change their trampolines after 10-12 years use.
FLOAT DECK TEFLON PAD RINGS On Dragonflys built after 1989, the white 5 mm Teflon pad rings on the float deck need to be changed every 13-15 years – this is neither critical nor structural. For easy change of these pads/rings, you just bolt off the floats from the wings.
QUICK-LINKS Over the years, Quorning Boats has used the riggings links, so-called Quick-Links, in the Dragonfly production. When replacing these, it is of utmost importance to purchase links of same high quality or similar products carrying same strength (working load). Many products look the same, but do not carry the same strength.
Common spare parts can be shipped within two weeks, whereas special parts and/or custom-made parts usually are served within 6-8 weeks.
For orders below EUR 100.- excl. VAT, we charge a handling fee of EUR 15.-
IMPORTANT Parts ordered at Quorning Boats Denmark, will be produced in originally designed materials. Should you choose to order from other suppliers, please check that the same kind of materials are used – especially on the waterstays and other rigging parts, where stronger Dyeform cables are needed.

Waterstays – every 7 years, or by max 10,000 NM Side stays – every 7 years, or by max 10,000 NM Diamond spreader stays – every 15 years Forestay with cable – every 10 years, or, by max 10,000 NM
If your forestay furling system does not include inside forestay, this needs to be visually checked every year. We strongly recommend changing this after 15 years.

If you think cruising multihulls are staid and stodgy, the Danish Dragonfly range will put you right. This cleverly designed folding trimaran has a blistering turn of speed – up to 20 knots on a reach and about 12 knots hard on the wind – and can tack on the proverbial sixpence. She’s seaworthy enough for offshore passages – designer Eric Quorning sailed one to victory in the two-handed Round Britain and Ireland Race – and set up for easy handling, with a small jib that can be furled in seconds, and lazyjacks help keep the mainsail manageable. The folding floats are wound in (for marina berthing) and out (for sailing) via the primary winches, a procedure that takes about two minutes. The kick-up rudder and centreboard allows you to sail her ashore, like a beach cat. So where’s the catch? Down below, you pay a price for the slim hull that makes the Dragonfly perform so well under sail. The accommodation is cramped, with no standing headroom and limited stowage. There are four single berths, a table that doubles as the centreboard case, and a sea toilet under the saloon seating.

Dragonfly 800 is a 26 ′ 2 ″ / 8 m trimaran sailboat designed by Børge Quorning and built by Quorning Boats starting in 1986.
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Boats are available with a racing rig and a smaller cruising rig. The ‘swing wing’ system (aft folding akas) allows the beam to be reduced to 2.9m.

Dragonfly 800. The Dragonfly is a speedy Danish import that goes head-to-head with the popular F-27. By. Darrell Nicholson. - Published: March 19, 2016 Updated: April 6, 2020. 1. At the 1992 U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis, Maryland, there were more than a dozen multihulls on exhibit.
Dragonfly 800. A pocket trimaran that's... indestructible! Following a career spanning two decades and with 400 units built, the Dragonfly 800 - DF800 for the connoisseurs - is certainly one of the most remarkable successes in the category of small transportable trimarans.
DRAGONFLY 800 – DF 800. The Dragonfly folding trimarans are built in Denmark by Quorning Boats: Dragonfly.dk. The Dragonfly 800 started off as a “fixed wing”. Later came the first “swing wing” version of the Dragonfly 800 trimaran.
A modern tour trimaran with emphasis on design and sailing qualities beyond all expectations. Safe, no heeling and trailable. Easy to sail both single-handed and by 2+2 persons.
Dragonfly 800 MK III (Swing Wing). This model was introduced in August 1989 [ 15 ] and was replaced by the Dragonfly 28 in 2009. There were two versions, Cruising and Racing, differing on the size of mast and sails.
This cleverly designed folding trimaran has a blistering turn of speed – up to 20 knots on a reach and about 12 knots hard on the wind – and can tack on the proverbial sixpence.
