Dragonfly Trimarans for Sale

Dragonfly trimarans are among the most advanced, high-performance sailing trimarans in the world, offering unmatched stability, speed, and comfort. Built by Quorning Boats in Denmark, Dragonfly trimarans are perfect for cruisers who want exhilarating performance without sacrificing the ease of trailering, shallow-water access, and luxury onboard amenities. Whether you're coastal cruising with family or solo-sailing offshore, Dragonfly trimarans represent a new standard in multihull sailing.

With their patented Swing Wing system, Dragonfly trimarans can reduce their beam for easy docking and trailering, making them an ideal choice for sailors seeking versatility and adventure.

History of Dragonfly Trimarans

Dragonfly trimarans are built by Quorning Boats, a family-run yard founded in 1967 by Børge Quorning in Denmark. Initially focused on custom and performance monohulls, the company pivoted to multihulls in the late 1970s, pioneering the concept of the cruising trimaran with a commitment to high build quality, safety, and innovation.

In 1989, Dragonfly introduced their revolutionary Swing Wing system, a breakthrough that allowed the amas (outrigger hulls) to be folded inward for docking and trailering without compromising performance. This unique design has helped Dragonfly remain a leader in the trimaran market for decades.

Today, Dragonfly remains under the leadership of Jens Quorning and continues to be one of the most respected trimaran builders globally, with models exported to over 50 countries.

The Rise in Popularity of Trimarans

Trimarans have become increasingly popular among cruising and performance sailors alike for their unique combination of benefits:

  • Speed: With less drag than monohulls and catamarans, trimarans like the Dragonfly can reach exhilarating speeds under sail
  • Stability: The three-hull design provides excellent initial stability, making them more comfortable at anchor or underway
  • Shallow Draft: Perfect for gunkholing and island-hopping, trimarans can access areas deeper-keel monohulls can't
  • Trailering and Storage: Thanks to innovations like Dragonfly's Swing Wing system, trimarans can be easily folded to fit into monohull slips or even trailered

As more sailors seek fast, comfortable, and adventure-ready vessels, Dragonfly trimarans are increasingly seen as the ideal solution.
