After 2.5 years of development, the World Premiere of the Danish-built new DRAGONFLY 36 will be at BOOT Düsseldorf 2025.

The DRAGONFLY 36 is designed for comfortable cruising in the fast lane. It sets new standards in terms of comfort, performance, practicality, and ease of handling – even when sailing short-handed or single-handed.

The DRAGONFLY 36 will be available in two versions: the TOURING version with a self-tacking jib, and the PERFORMANCE version with an even taller rig and a larger overlapping furling headsail. Both have carbon masts.

Kevin Wallis, Managing Director of Dragonfly Trimarans Australia & New Zealand, said that both versions feature a wave-piercing float design. The distinctive reverse bow is now extended to the centre hull for the first time, creating a new main hull design that provides safe and comfortable upright sailing, with more buoyancy in the bow. In addition, the DRAGONFLY 36 has a fixed bowsprit for easy use of downwind sails and anchoring.

The large dual-zone cockpit has comfortable seating forward, and all control lines are led aft to four electric winches by the twin wheels. Below deck, the new interior design includes forward and aft double cabins, a separate head, a modern galley, and a spacious dinette to host family and friends. The standard finish is in ash wood, with elm as an option.

The unique and revolutionary DRAGONFLY SWING WING system – introduced 35 years ago – reduces the 8.12m beam to only 3.7m in seconds, using no tools. The DRAGONFLY 36 introduces an all-composite high-tech construction, making the DRAGONFLY SWING WING system simpler, lighter, stronger and easier to maintain.
