Multihull Solutions Ltd is the sole UK dealer for the spectacular range of Dragonfly Swing Wing trimarans, which have been available in the UK since 1988.

 

Trimarans are gaining in popularity, as their incredible combination of performance and comfort reach a wider audience. Their effortless performance is due to light weight and slim hulls, which slice cleanly through the waves. The enormous righting moment ensures minimal heeling, so the whole family enjoy the ride while higher speeds create increased cruising grounds, whatever your time scale. On arrival, a shallow draft allows anchoring in knee deep water, allowing the childern to play on the beach while others sunbathe on the spacious trampolines. Finally, when the sailing is over, a folding trimaran offers a dramatic cost saving over other multihulls in today's crowded marinas.

There is no other trimaran on the market today which can match the combination of quality, comfort and proven performance offered by a Dragonfly.

 

AWARD WINNING - The leading European yachting media are convinced, as they have twice awarded Dragonfly the prestigious title of European Yacht of the Year, for the 920 Extreme in 2003 and the new Dragonfly 35 in 2008. Yachting Monthly also ranked the DF920 45th in their "100 Best Boats of the Century" during 2006, as the only production trimaran to make their shortlist. Dragonfly trimarans have also won Boat of the Year in the US.

 

UNRIVALLED EXPERIENCE OVER 40 YEARS - In 2008 Quorning Boats celebrate their 40th anniversary, having built over 500 trimarans on the same site in Denmark since 1968, and are acknowledged world leaders in folding trimarans. Since 1989, all Dragonflies have featured the Quorning Swing Wing system, which allows them to fold to fit in a standard width marina berth:

 

The Swing Wing system has several advantages over other systems which "fold under". As a Dragonfly folds, the outriggers remain upright, ensuring the antifouling remains in the water (rather than the topsides), and the decks are safe to walk on. Unlike many of the competition, the Dragonfly folding system is operated single-handedly from the cockpit, in under one minute each side, and without any tools.

 

In addition, the absence of beams and trampolines raised above the deck when folded greatly enhances the ease of boarding. Although the folded outriggers do increase the length of the waterline, they provide excellent protection to the lifted rudder and outboard motor.

 

Dragonfly performance is legendary, and proven in race victories including numerous Micro Multihull European championships, MOCRA Nationals and Round the Island race. Dragonfly is also the choice of champions, with Olympic sailing legend Paul Elvstrom and Round the World record-holder Cam Lewis both among past owners.
