That looks really quick and easy. But only when you have flat water and enough space. In reality it is not always simple. I have my boat in Cuxhaven and have to attach at least three fenders on both sides and this ist sometimes difficult , because there are no attachment points and I have to remove some of these before I unfold the boat. Usually I have irregular waves and and many ships in this area and the Boat handling is sometimes difficult. The same procedure when I come back in the harbour. When there is not enough space I must fold the baot outside the port, which is normally not recommended.

Thanks for your comments. The bow and stern fenders are easily secured to the pulpit and pushpit, and my mid-ship one hooks onto the u-bolt on the wing. I also have flat fenders secured to my berth, so only need to fit fenders one side on the water. Have you tried facing stern into the wind with the motor in reverse for folding?- this way the boat ‘hangs’ by the engine and doesn’t move around much.

Thanks for your comment, but I'd recommend a larger Dragonfly than this trailerable DF 25 for that trip. Dragonfly 40 would be a joy for long-range cruising.

I like the tiller tamer. Does it come standard with the boat? Or is it aftermarket? If its aftermarket, who makes the device?
@DragonflyTrimarans-UK

it’s simply a length of shock cord, hooked over the tiller extension mount.

Thanks, but it’s a trimaran (catamaran has only 2 hulls), which allows this easy folding system.

Suggestion/question : where’s the kill cord for that engine? Do you think would be a good idea when “sailing” solo that, after any reverse manouvre is done, have a killcord , while motoring trough the harbour… a kill cord extended and dunken to transom with a floaty at the end… at least if you fall, you have hope to stop your vessel? Just wondering, everytime I see an engine on a boat… is there someone there 100% or not?

Hi Stefano, thanks for your comment and it's an interesting idea. However as you can see, there is no need to leave the DF 25 cockpit until the boat is unfolded. At this point it is an incredibly stable platform almost 6m wide, so the risk of falling is much lower than on some boats

Hi David, thanks for watching, but a Dragonfly is far more than your summary suggests. This is a high performance folding trimaran which can often sail at windspeed, and exceed 20 knots on a good day (see our other recent videos). The materials and construction methods required to achieve this inevitably cost more than a similar sized cruising yacht. However its unique combination of quality and performance resulted in Dragonfly 25 being awarded the title of 'European Yacht of the Year 2016' in the multihull category, and over 100 have been built.
