Pre-purchase Marine Survey on this 2003 Dragonfly 1200

Todays inspection was a 30 minutes drive from Athens airport at Olympic Marina in Lavrio. 

Dragonfly trimarans are built in Denmark by Quorning Boats who only manufacture boats to order, ensuring each boat meets its owner´s dreams and specifications. This 1200 was boat number 16 and only 18 were produced at the factory, making them sort after and they hold their value! Today Quorning Boats export worldwide direct from the yard or via their network of local Dragonfly representatives.

Børge and Jens Quorning designed and developed their “Swing Wing” system in the late eighties and started a new era in the Dragonfly history by introducing the trailerable Dragonfly 800 Swing Wing. This system made it possible to reduce the beam by more than 50 % within two minutes, using no tools and working only from the cockpit. Since then no fixed wing trimaran has left the yard.

 

The cabins offer the finest Danish furniture design using laminated teak with solid teak trim. The bulkheads are foam sandwich construction to save weight and the non-visible wooden structures are made of Canadian red cedar.
The centre-board trunk carries a nice large folding table. A number of windows make the cabin bright and friendly. The big L-shaped sofa offers comfortable seating at the dining table and converts to a roomy double berth.

The Swing Wing system is the best, easiest and safest folding system available. The Swing Wing system allows the boat to be folded - or unfolded - with the aid of the electric winches by one person in approximatively 2 minutes.
The same winches are used for setting the sails, reef both main and genoa and even sheet in the genoa - making sail handling easy for everyone.
