DF 800 Manual

Post by Walter Siebold »

We got manuals for the DF920 and DF1000. Has someone a Manual for the DF800?

800 Manual

Post by Christine »

Walter, did you get a manual? I want to read a manual before purchasing a Dragonfly to ensure it's suitalbe for the sailing/mooring we had in mind.

Best wishes

Hello Christine
I don't think the manual will give you the answers to those questions (if I go by the DF920 manual). It might be better to talk to some DF800 owners or ask specific questions in the forum.

DF800 Manual - Boat Choosing

Post by Walter Siebold »

Hello Christine,

I agree with Bo, the manuals won't tell you much in trying to choose a boat. In this forum, somewhere in the files, there are manuals for the DF920 and the DF1000, they basically tell you how to set it up and how to sail it.

Try to go sailing in one of them. Here in Houston we have two DF800, several Corsairs and other Multihulls that you can test. We sail all year, contact me if you are in this area. There are good discussions in this forum regarding Dragonfly versus Corsair, also check the old forum.

I have a DF800 Manual (1991 vintage) that I need to scan and post here one of these days. I am not sure if the newer manuals are different.

Thanks Walter, I will ask specific questions instead.

Unfortunately I'm in the Uk and unable to take up your kind offer.

Best wishes
