- Description:
Drawing on all the successful design elements of the highly versatile and popular 26 ft Dragonfly 800 sport cruiser, the Dragonfly 1000 is as exhilarating to sail and convenient to handle round the marina. Yet her greater size allows much more luxury and accommodation amenities to be built in, and gives the boat full off-shore cruising capability (rated with European CE Mark Category A).
A rotating mast is standard, increasing the efficiency of the rig and contributing to her exceptional performance. An even livelier version is built with higher mast and carbon rigging for the more experienced and speed-loving sailors.
The Dragonfly 1000 is designed for easy and safe single-handed sailing. All controls for sails, centreboard and folding floats are operated from the cockpit. A windshield protects the helm station. The Swing Wing system allows the floats to be winched alongside the main hull, reducing the beam by about 50%, making handling round piers, docks and marinas easy and allowing the boat to fit in a standard marina berth. A kick-up rudder and centreboard reduce the risks of causing damage when sailing in shallow water.
Dragonflys are renowned for ingenious and tasteful design below decks, as well as for the quality of materials and workmanship. The main cabin has standing headroom and the fittings are in plywood with teak trim. There is a dinette area with seating for eight which converts to a double and single bunk. Further forward is a head and shower room, and in the forepeak a roomy double V-berth.
