Danish shipyard Quorning Boats developed this striking trimaran as part of their innovative Dragonfly series, designed to bridge the gap between traditional cruising and high-performance sailing. Built with modern composite construction techniques, this multihull offers the speed and excitement of a racing trimaran while maintaining the comfort and practicality needed for extended cruising adventures. The folding trimaran configuration stands as the boat's defining feature, allowing owners to reduce beam significantly for marina berthing and trailering. This ingenious design makes multihull sailing accessible to sailors who might otherwise be constrained by harbor limitations or storage concerns. When deployed, the amas provide exceptional stability and impressive sailing performance that can easily outpace most monohulls. Quorning's reputation for quality construction and thoughtful engineering shines through in the execution, with careful attention paid to both performance optimization and cruising amenities. The design appeals particularly to sailors seeking coastal and offshore adventures who don't want to compromise on speed or comfort. This trimaran represents an ideal choice for experienced sailors looking to transition into multihull sailing or those wanting a versatile platform capable of both spirited day sailing and comfortable cruising.
