Dragonfly 40 Touring Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Dragonfly 40 Touring means considering a folding trimaran built from 2020 onward by Quorning Boats as the cruising version of a four-model performance range. With a 40-foot hull that folds its amas to a 13-foot beam, it suits sailors wanting blue-water capability without sacrificing a monohull slip. The Touring emphasizes comfort and straightforward handling over the taller-rig Ultimate racing variant.
Layouts on the Used Market
The Touring's interior centers on a long dining table formed by the centerboard trunk, with a forward cabin reached through an oval doorway and a double berth tucked beneath the cockpit abaft the companionway. The spacious dual-zone cockpit and open transom with folding composite section extend living space aft, and a bow ladder supports forward disembarkation. Elm-trimmed panels and a stylish overall design give the cabin an almost luxurious feel compared with earlier Dragonfly models.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
A short-handed setup is commonly fitted, built around self-tacking jib and electric winches that match the factory's advanced winch specification. For buyer consequence, the electric winches and full electrical furling systems reduce crew workload, while the twin wheels and aft-led running rig simplify maneuvers from the helm. Navigation and sail handling are served by the recessed Facnor furlers on twin headsails and the sophisticated mainsheet system. Power needs are met by the standard Yanmar 40 HP diesel in its low-noise compartment, and the commonly fitted electric winches remove manual effort.
What to Inspect
The Touring is laid up with a foam core, vinylester resin, and biaxial fibers, so examine the cruising-oriented laminate for any osmotic or impact issues at the float bows, which have reverse wave-piercing entries. Verify the Swing Wing folding system operates smoothly to halve the beam, and confirm the crossbeams remain well clear of water in folded and unfolded states. Check the engine compartment sealing, since its design minimizes noise and odor only if intact, and inspect the elm varnished trim for maintenance history.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These trimarans typically appear in the United States and Finland. For a buyer, the checklist is brief: confirm folding beam function and 13-foot slip fit; verify electric furling and winches operate; inspect foam-core hull and float bow entries; confirm centerboard trunk table and berth access; validate diesel compartment sealing. The Dragonfly 40 Touring rewards the shopper who values folded convenience with open-water speed.
