Hi, Can anyone tell me how stable it is if I need to fold the amas at sea before coming into a harbour/ marina. some of the harbours we visit south coast England would require me to do that to get into the entrance and I am concerned solent chopping waves may be an issue ?

Dragonfly 35's in the US?

Hi, I was curious if any Dragonfly 35's are actually in the US. I see they have a dealer in Jersey. They look like great boats if you are looking for some more room down bellow.

Corsair 37 or Dragonfly 35: Which Is Better for Blue Water P

Hello, The DF-35 does have a full double aft bunk, and it is definitely a faster boat than the DF-1200. The 1200 might have a higher top speed, but the 35 will be faster in light air and get into "the teens" much sooner than the 1200. In moderate 10-20 knot winds a 35 will run away from a ...
