The Dragonfly 800 is an 8 metre trimaran manufactured in Denmark by Quorning Boats. Originally designed as a fixed wing in 1986, it evolved a 'swing-wing' function which allows the outer hulls to be drawn into the sides of the centre hull for marina berthing.

Capable of 20+ knots the boat has an excellent racing record. In 1985, Erik Quorning came 1st in the Round Great Britain and Ireland race in a Mk1 version.

Attractively designed, the Dragonfly 800 is also a popular cruiser. Beautifully finished, the boat provides an excellent coastal camper.
