Sailboat specifications

The Dragonfly 920 is a 30’2” (9.2m) fast cruising trimaran designed by Børge Quorning (Denmark) and Jens Quorning (Denmark). She was built between 1996 and 2008 by Quorning Boats (Denmark). The Extreme version features a taller carbon leading to a larger sail area. To bring extra power she also longer cross arm making her wider. She has been awarded "2004 - European Yacht of the Year: Multihulls".

The Dragonfly 920 is as well listed, on Boat-Specs.com, in Touring version (see all the versions compared).

Dragonfly 920's performances

Upwind sail area to displacement iThe ratio sail area to displacement is obtained by dividing the sail area by the boat's displaced volume to the power two-thirds. The ratio sail area to displacement can be used to compare the relative sail plan of different sailboats no matter what their size. Upwind: under 18 the ratio indicates a cruise oriented sailboat with limited performances especially in light wind, while over 25 it indicates a fast sailboat.: 484 ft²/T44.98 m²/T
Downwind sail area to displacement iThe ratio sail area to displacement is obtained by dividing the sail area by the boat's displaced volume to the power two-thirds. The ratio sail area to displacement can be used to compare the relative sail plan of different sailboats no matter what their size.: 835 ft²/T77.57 m²/T
Displacement-length ratio (DLR) iThe Displacement Length Ratio (DLR) is a figure that points out the boat's weight compared to its waterline length. The DLR is obtained by dividing the boat's displacement in tons by the cube of one one-hundredth of the waterline length (in feet). The DLR can be used to compare the relative mass of different sailboats no matter what their length: a DLR less than 180 is indicative of a really light sailboat (race boat made for planning), while a DLR greater than 300 is indicative of a heavy cruising sailboat.: 80
