Dragonfly 40 Performance Cruiser is the new flagship of our range, and sets new standards in fast family cruising. The emphasis on easy handling and safe short-handed sailing.
The wide beam plus powerful, wave-piercing floats minimise heeling. However, they also slice cleanly through the chop for a smooth ride.
A spacious, dual-zone cockpit allows guests to relax around the table. Meanwhile all sailing controls are led aft to the working cockpit, where twin helm stations and a bank of electric winches allow easy and safe sailing. As a result, even solo-sailing is possible.
The stylish, modern interior in elm wood maximises cruising comfort, ensuring this boat sets new standards for fast family cruising. The cabin has 1.95m headroom, and the large table comfortably seats 8 to 10 people. Generous windows ensure a panoramic view, while multiple skylights maximise natural light and ventilation. Dragonfly 40 has separate forward and aft double cabins to maximise privacy.
Dragonfly 40 is available in four versions, which all share the same accommodation but have different sized carbon rigs. Dragonfly 40 Touring has a self-tacking jib for easy handling. Meanwhile, Dragonfly 40 Ultimate has a taller carbon mast with an overlapping genoa, for higher performance. Both models can fly a Code 0 and gennaker from the fixed bowsprit, ensuring maximum efficiency and fun downwind.
The float decks each have two large hatches, providing access to huge lockers for all your cruising gear. For example, extra sails, fenders and folding bikes. There’s even space for a kayak or paddle board, accessed via an optional stern hatch.
Dragonfly 40 becomes your own private island once at anchor, a huge stable platform with space to spread out. In addition, the kick-up rudder and centreboard give access to shallow anchorages. Therefore, you can enjoy those perfect spots denied to most other yachts.
On your return to the marina, Dragonfly 40 folds quickly at the press of a button to reduce beam by 50%. As a result it can be moored in a single berth, just like a conventional yacht.
Winner of ‘European Yacht of the Year 2021’ in the Performance Cruiser category. In conclusion, the jury described it as “the new benchmark in performance cruising”.
