The Dragonfly 1200 represents a definitive era in the evolution of Quorning Boats, serving as the Danish yard’s flagship for much of the early 2000s. Launched in 2000, this 39foot trimaran was designed by Børge and Jens Quorning to reconcile two oftenconflicting goals: the raw, exhilarating speed of a multihull and the bluewater luxury of a highend cruising monohull. As a "Category A" oceangoing vessel, it remains one of the largest production trimarans to utilize the manufacturer's patented "Swing Wing" folding system, allowing a boat with a massive 28foot sailing beam to retract to a manageable 14 feet for marina berthing. Unlike its smaller siblings that preceded it, the 1200 was engineered with a focus on longrange autonomy and "grand touring" comfort, marking a departure from the more minimalist, weightsensitive designs of the Dragonfly 800 and 920.
