About the DRAGONFLY 35
Beam, folded: 3.90m/12.80'
Designed by Jens Quorning and Steen Olsen and built by Quorning Sailboats (DEN) in 2007, the Dragonfly 35 is a lightweight, performance-oriented cruiser with a displacement of 8598.0 lb. While specific build counts are unverified, owner reports highlight a distinct pattern of structural concerns, particularly regarding the keel and rudder systems.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and performance-oriented sailors who prioritize speed and handling over heavy offshore comfort, given its low D/L ratio of 93.88 and high SA/D ratio of 34.54.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 5.26 and a comfort ratio of 4.79, the Dragonfly 35 is less suited for heavy offshore passages compared to heavier displacement yachts, though its variable keel options allow for some adaptability.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other lightweight, fractional sloop designs from the mid-2000s such as the Beneteau First 36 or J/35, due to similar emphasis on racing performance and fractional rigging.
