Maintenance

The Dragonfly 32 fills in the gap between the Dragonfly 28 and the Dragonfly 40. The Dragonfly 32 appears in two versions, the Dragonfly 32 Touring with standard rig, and the more powerful version with a taller rig, the Dragonfly 32 Evolution. The Dragonfly 32 accommodates a crew of 5 to 7 persons.

Dragonfly 32 Videos

The Dragonfly 32 comes in a modern- and dynamic design, setting high standards in both function and design.

The Dragonfly 32 is offered in two versions - the ‘Touring’ version with a shorter rig and the more powerful ‘Evolution’ version with a taller rig and our wave piercing float design for the ultimate performance. The floats are designed even bigger, compared to our previous designs, which makes the boat more powerful and faster, but still safe.

The Dragonfly 32 comes standard with a 21 Hp Yanmar inboard engine – 30 Hp Yanmar inboard engine is optional. The boat is equipped with a tiller as standard, but the cockpit has been designed and developed for wheel steering as well.

The impression of space below deck is striking. The boat offers full standing headroom of 1.93 m in the main cabin - 1.87 m in the toilet section. 

The Dragonfly 32 comes with 6 full-size berths, all of 2 m length. Up front, there is a double V-berth, and the aft cabin offers a comfortable double berth. You get access to the aft cabin by sliding the companionway steps. In the main cabin, two bigger size easy-foldable single berths offer accommodation for two. The interior layout comes as standard in maple wood, whereas the luxurious elm wood interior is optional. The main dinette table can seat 6 to 8 people comfortably. The galley is located by the companionway and is highly functional with good ergonomics. There are numerous cupboards; the lockers are equipped with clever guillotine fastenings which rationalize the stowage solutions and contribute to the overall clarity when sailing.

The Dragonfly 32 has a nice big cockpit, which offers plenty of space and conviviality for the whole crew. All halyards and lines are led to the cockpit for easy and safe handling - perfect also for shorthanded sailing. The optional sprayhood and cockpit tent turns the cockpit into a genuine exterior saloon - an articulated bimini to provide protection from the sun is also available. In harbor, a monohull's berth is sufficient thanks to the famous Swing-Wing system, which Quorning Boats introduced more than 30 years ago. 

The Dragonfly 32 offers fun and safe family sailing, it is a pleasure in use - and has potential for serious racing and safe fast sailing at the same time.

Dragonfly 32 Evolution has been appointed Multihull of the Year 2019 in the "Until 40 feet" category.

Awarded by Yachts & Yachting

Awarded by SAIL magazine

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.

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.

Trampolines

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.

Ordering parts

Original parts can be ordered at Quorning Boats at  [email protected]

Common spare parts can be shipped within two weeks, whereas special parts and/or custom-made parts usually are served within 6-8 weeks.

Caution for all painted surfaces on the boat and mast

Painted surfaces may not be covered with Plastic or other non-breathable materials, as water and condensation can not be lead away from the painted surfaces, and these are not able to dry. When water is stuck between the Paint and a non-breathable or non-ventilated material, blisters can occur between the paint and the gelcoat or the carbon sections of the mast. Due to these circumstances, the permanent use of Ex. Matt-Fenders cannot be recommended, as water and Condensation can also get stuck between these and the hull, and lead to blisters in the Paint.

Quorning Boats can not be held responsible for Blisters in the paint occurred due covering the painted surfaces with non-breathable materials.

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.

DRAGONFLY 32 TOURING & SUPREME (built since 2012) Waterstays – ever 7 years (max), or by max 15,000 NM Side stays and forestay – every 10 years, or by max 15,000 NM Beam stop cable to forward, outside beam under trampoline – every 15 years Diamond spreader stays on the mast – every 15 years Steering cables – every 5 years

Dragonfly 32 Evolution

The first-generation Dragonfly 32 (which we tested in Multihulls World #126) is a well-bred trimaran: 54 units have been sold and have undoubtedly made a mark on the history of the yard. The Evolution is replacing the Supreme version with 20% larger floats and a more powerful rig.

Traditional construction

All Dragonflys are made of foam/glass/polyester sandwich. The materials and processes used are medium-tech for this type of multihull. Checkered foam is not the lightest structural core - it absorbs excess resin in the grooves between the small gaps in the Airex pattern - but it allows some flexibility for shaping. The various large sections, such as decks and hulls are glued together on wide covering lips after the structural bulkheads and some of the internal fittings have been installed. The arms, subjected to high stresses - torsion and compression -, are made of vinylester resin with superior mechanical characteristics. All parts are manufactured manually in female molds by contact lamination, without infusion. This production organization is made possible by the architecture of independent workshops at the Skaerbek plant, which sequence a careful and rigorous manufacturing process despite the choice of a rather conservative technical process.

The horizontal folding swing wing

The folding mode of the Dragonfly 32, like all the other models in the range, is entrusted to horizontal kinematics, unlike the Corsairs, which have adopted Ian Farrier'...

Dragonfly 32

• By By Mark Pillsbury
• Updated: November 20, 2015

It was drizzling and chilly the day the Boat of the Year team paid a dockside visit to the Dragonfly 32 Supreme during last fall’s U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis. With a half-dozen of us packed into the slender cabin to hear the builder explain the concept behind the Danish-built trimaran, I recall it being pleasant enough, but, well, tight. It reminded me of the way monohull sailboats used to feel down below, before designers started to widen things up to put three sleeping cabins, two heads and a full saloon into that size of a footprint.

When a few folks moved topsides, though, it was easy to picture a couple or a small family nestled into the two settees that flank the centerline drop-leaf table, the boat rocking gently in some shallow, quiet cove. Between the V-berth forward, the comfy foldout settees, and a crawl-in double tucked away behind the companionway ladder, there’d be plenty of room for everyone to sleep. In the fully equipped galley, the cook could whip up tasty meals over the course of a two- or three-week cruise. And with the pop-up centerboard and draft of just over a foot and a half (6 feet 3 inches, board down), heck, you could just about park the boat on the beach when it came time to jump in for a dip.

With its outriggers folded in, the ­Dragonfly fits into a conventional 12-foot-wide slip. But with the amas folded out to their full 26-foot beam, the Dragonfly’s sharp entry and sleek lines suggested only good things could happen when the square-top main was set along with the 100 percent working jib for tacking upwind, or with the screacher rolled out off the breeze.

And only good things did.

A few days later I boarded the boat with the judges again, this time out on Chesapeake Bay, and as quick as you could say “trim that sheet,” we were off to the races and having a ball. In about 12 knots of breeze we saw speeds in the 8-plus-knot range under the jib, and better than 13 knots with the big foresail set on a reach.

BOTY judge Tim Murphy pretty much summed it up when he recalled afterward, “What a fun boat to sail — holy cow!” His colleague Ed Sherman added, “I’m impressed with the quality of that boat. It had some of the lowest noise ratings of all the boats we tested, which was mind-boggling to me because this is sort of a light boat. My expectation was it was going to be noisy, slamming around out there, but that wasn’t the case.”

Indeed, in somewhat lumpy conditions, the tri danced across the waves, heeling only a few degrees as the amas dipped in and went to work translating wind speed directly into boat speed.

The Dragonfly comes in a couple of configurations. The touring version includes an aluminum mast and boom, a 25-horsepower outboard engine, and tiller steering (a wheel is optional). We sailed the racer model, with a carbon rig 2 meters taller. The boat also had the optional 20-horsepower Yanmar diesel and saildrive.

The Dragonfly isn’t a cheap boat. The base price is $350,000, and the version we sailed had a price tag of about $400,000. But the build quality was impressive, and the equipment and hardware were top-shelf. For the monohull sailor looking for a turn of speed not possible in your traditional racer/cruiser, along with standing headroom and volume to carry family or crew in comfort, it’s a boat that would definitely merit a test sail. If you take one, I’m guessing you’ll come back grinning.

Dragonfly Trimarans are built in Denmark to extremely high standards by Quorning Boats. The current Dragonfly range extends from the trailerable 25 and 28 footers, up to the larger 32 and 40 foot models. All Dragonfly Trimarans employ their hallmark “swing wing” system for retracting the floats for docking or in the case of the 25 and 28 for easy trailering. One feature of this system is that the floats remain in the vertical orientation, which is an advantage when keeping the boat in a slip because it eliminates the issue of fouling of the outside surfaces of the floats. Another hallmark of Dragonfly trimarans is their attention to detail in the interior design and finish, creating a beautiful comfortable place to spend time inside the boat.

32′ dragonfly – setting the highest standards for mid sized trimarans.

Gallery Images

• ".$thumbs[$i]."

This listing is for a new build Dragonfly 32 trimaran with 5 months delivery. The new Dragonfly 32 trimaran is a brand new, modern and dynamic trimaran design that is setting the highest benchmarks in multihull functionality and performance. As most of the Dragonfly trimarans, the beautiful curved floats can swing in to reduce the beam to monohull size – a huge bonus for trailering and docking. For the very first time at Dragonfly/Quorning Boats, the combination of finite-element technology with material and stress analysis creates a perfect balance of design and material compositions.

Quorning Boats take great pleasure in introducing the new Dragonfly 32′ which is filling the gap between the Dragonfly 28 and Dragonfly 35 trimaran. The boat offers a huge cockpit, which offers space enough for the whole crew. All halyards and lines are led to the cockpit for easy and safe handling – perfect also for shorthanded sailing. The floats are designed even bigger – compared to Dragonfly’s previous designs which makes the trimaran more powerful and fast. The Dragonfly 32 trimaran offers fun and safe family sailing yet has the potential for serious ocean racing.

Dragonfly 32

This elegant trimaran from Denmark combines innovative systems with a comfortable cruising interior  (published November MQ 2014)

It is not every day I get to go sailing with Cam Lewis, who happens to be one of America’s if not the world’s most accomplished multihull sailors. He has sailed everywhere, raced everything and won all sorts of multihull events. So, it was indeed a pleasure to meet up with him aboard the new Dragonfy 32 at Bert Jabin’s Yacht Yard in Back Creek, Annapolis, right after the fall sailboat show.

The Dragonfly was brand new and just out of the show so we had to figure out how to get it rigged properly and set it up for the sail trials. And, right after the trials, Cam was heading off for a solo delivery on the boat northward to New Jersey. The 32 is a system rich environment with strings running every which way. But this was nothing for Cam, who had it sorted in minutes.

With the 20-horsepower diesel and sail drive ticking over slowly and the bow thruster—yes, bow thruster—working, Cam steered us out of a tight slip and headed down the creek. To deploy the amas, all we had to do was release one control line and pull on another and soon they were fully extended. The operation took two minutes per side. Once deployed, the amas are locked into place with diagonal wire stays that keep them from folding up suddenly when you are screaming along at 12 knots. That could be bad.

The Chesapeake Bay was being unusually cooperative by offering a pleasant 10 to 12 knots of wind. Often it blows only zephyrs. We hoisted the big mainsail and immediately the boat felt alive and ready to go. We switched off the engine and rolled out the jib. To our surprise, the jib was a small 100 percent sail instead of the 135 to 130 percent headsail that we had expected. So, we were somewhat under canvassed. (As it turned out, the sailmaker had used a template from a different owner who was having a heavy weather jib cut for his boat to complement the genoa.)

But, we went on undaunted. With Cam calling sail trim we hardened up and sailed out into the bay making a pleasant seven to eight knots in the 10 knots of breeze and held a 30 degree angle to the apparent wind. The boat had a little weather helm that we corrected with traveler trim. And, it tacked easily and carried its speed pretty well through the eye of the wind.

After an hour, we headed back into Annapolis Harbor at a fairly low angle to the wind and found that with some tweaking of the barber haulers, which are standard equipment, we could get a good shape to the headsail and maintain our eight knots through the water. The upshot was that the new Dragonfly 32 sails well on all angles even with a small jib. Had we flown the standard genoa, I am confident we would have seen two or even three more knots of speed.

In the fall of 2013, I made a visit to Denmark to visit with several major marine companies there. Dragonfly was one of them and my tour of their plant gave me a good idea of how the company operates and how they build so much quality into their boats.

Like many boat building companies, Dragonfly is the creation of one man who loved to sail and loved trimarans. In 1967, Borge Quorning launched his company with the intention of building only state of the art cruising and racing trimarans. In the nearly five decades since, Quorning Boats has built over 850 new boats for discerning customers around the world. The boats are built on a semi custom basis, so each one can be tailored to an owner’s specific needs.

The boat’s all have infused and cored vinylester hulls and decks that are light, stiff and strong. The rig has a rotating mast that is fitted with diamond stays and adjustable running back stays. The jib is on a fixed roller reefing system while the reacher and asymmetrical spinnaker fly free on the carbon bowsprit.

The 32 was designed to fill the gap between the popular 28 and the 35 and borrows a lot of the details and design aspects from the 35. The interior is remarkably large for a high performance tri. The forward cabin has a comfortable V-berth that is large enough for two adults. Just aft is the head compartment that can be closed off with doors. Aft and under the cockpit, there is a full double berth that is both spacious and somewhat private.

To our surprise, we found that there are comfortable bunks for six adults aboard the 32 and an enclosed head, facts that made us wonder how they managed to fit it all in without creating clutter or confined spaces.

Borge and Jens Quorning have built a successful business by creating high performance cruising trimarans that are a pleasure to sail and race. The boats handle well, sail fast and are good at sea. They may not be the lightest on the racecourse and that’s because they are also comfortable cruising boats. The craftsmanship, engineering and finished joinery that goes into each boat is of the very highest standard.
