About the Dragonfly 36

Danish trimaran innovation takes center stage with this distinctive multihull design from Quorning Boats, representing decades of refinement in folding trimaran technology. Known for their unique wing-folding system, Dragonfly trimarans have carved out a dedicated following among sailors seeking performance without sacrificing practicality. This design bridges the gap between coastal day sailing and extended cruising adventures, offering the stability and speed advantages of a trimaran configuration while maintaining the ability to fold the outer hulls for standard marina berthing. The innovative engineering allows owners to enjoy multihull performance without the typical mooring limitations that often accompany wider beam vessels. Performance-oriented sailors appreciate the boat's ability to achieve impressive speeds while maintaining comfortable motion in various sea conditions. The design philosophy emphasizes both sailing efficiency and livability, making it suitable for couples or small families interested in spirited coastal cruising with occasional longer passages. Quorning's reputation for quality construction and thoughtful design details has established the Dragonfly line as a respected choice among discerning multihull enthusiasts who value both innovation and practical seamanship in their vessel selection.

Performance Ratios
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy
129.14
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
7.03
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
4.51
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 8.01 kn
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 20.41 pounds/inch
