Danish innovation meets high-performance sailing in this distinctive trimaran that revolutionized the small multihull market. Designed by Børge Quorning in the late 1990s, this folding trimaran quickly gained recognition for its unique ability to transform from a trailerable package into a fast, stable sailing platform. The boat's most remarkable feature is its innovative folding system, which allows the outer hulls to fold inward against the main hull for easy trailering and marina storage. This engineering marvel solved the traditional multihull challenge of finding suitable slip space while maintaining excellent sailing performance on the water. Built primarily for coastal cruising and weekend adventures, the Dragonfly 25 delivers impressive speed and stability that appeals to sailors seeking multihull performance without the complexity of larger trimarans. The spacious cockpit and reasonable accommodations make it suitable for day sailing and short overnight trips. Quorning's design philosophy emphasized simplicity and reliability, resulting in a boat that's approachable for sailors transitioning from monohulls while offering genuine multihull excitement. The model established Dragonfly as a respected name in the folding trimaran market, paving the way for the company's larger, more elaborate designs that followed.
