About the DRAGONFLY 920
Designed by Borge Quorning and Jens Quorning and built by Quorning Boats (DEN) from 1996–2008, the Dragonfly 920 is a compact, lightweight fractional sloop with a rotating spar. With a displacement of 4189.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 3.56, it is engineered for performance and ease of handling rather than heavy offshore comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend racers who prioritize easy single-handed handling and trailerability over heavy bluewater provisioning. Its light displacement and fractional rig make it ideal for sailors seeking a responsive, low-maintenance day sailor or short-cruiser.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 4189.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 5.54, the Dragonfly 920 is not designed for serious offshore passage-making but is capable of protected coastal cruising with proper preparation.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 30 and J/30, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and performance-oriented designs from the same era. Like these models, the Dragonfly 920 emphasizes speed and ease of use, though it distinguishes itself with its unique rotating mast system.
