The Dragonfly 40 in the Gulf
The Dragonfly 40 is the flagship of the Quorning Boats range — a hand-built Danish trimaran that delivers sailing speeds most monohulls only see on a forecast, with the Swing Wing folding system that still fits a standard marina berth. In the Gulf’s light airs, where most fleets sit becalmed, a Dragonfly 40 keeps sailing — fast.
We know this boat better than anyone in the region: founder Xavier Bouin campaigns a Dragonfly 40 offshore — the 2025 Rolex Fastnet Race, a class win in La Trinité–Cowes and a podium overall in the ArMen Race — plus the Dubai–Muscat here at home. Everything learned racing feeds into how we specify, tune and support the boats we deliver.
