Dragonfly 800 Swing-Wing Trimaran - Fast, Trailerable, High Quality, and Versatile
Dragonfly 800, the legendary Danish-built swing-wing trimaran known for combining exhilarating performance with true cruising practicality. Designed by Quorning Boats, the Dragonfly 800 is a rare blend of speed, safety, and convenience-equally at home racing, day-sailing, or coastal cruising.
Highlights
Swing-Wing Folding System - Ama/Float fold-in system allows the boat to narrow to monohull beam in minutes, making marina berths, trailering, and storage easy.
Exceptional Performance - Lightweight composite construction delivers fast, responsive sailing with excellent upwind ability.
Stable & Safe - Trimaran stability inspires confidence for solo sailing or family cruising.
Trailerable - Store on land with the mast up, travel to your favorite sailing locations by road, and tend to your maintenance in your backyard rather than a shipyard.
Accommodations

Comfortable V-berth forward
Settee berths in the main cabin
Compact galley area with storage
Marine head
Excellent ventilation and light for weekend cruising
Cockpit & Deck

Wide, stable nets for safe movement

Why the Dragonfly 800?
The Dragonfly 800 has a passionate following for good reason-it delivers monohull convenience with multihull performance. Whether you're looking for a fast day sailor, a club racer, or a capable coastal cruiser that fits in a standard marina slip, this boat checks all the boxes.
This particular DF800 ,Surprise, is a 1992 well cared for boat that is ready to sail today. Her owners are a smart and diligent married couple that are very knowledgeable and experienced with the model. This is the second DF800 they've owned. She is lightly used currently on calm weather days.
Surprise is a great choice for weekend day-sailing and the occasional weekend cruiser/camper. Once a year or so, she would make for a great boat to go over to the Keys or Bahamas for a week or so of incredible cruising.
