I wouldn't be worried about the quick link or the P-link but the mast fitting which is common problem with all older dragonflies with rotating mast. The hole in the fitting stretches to oval shape and there is really not much room for this stretch. Simple fix is to weld shackle to the outern edge of...

If this is the same boat and damage is what is seen here: https://images.boats.com/resize/1/38/47/7213847_20190911061552720_1_XLARGE.jpg?t=1568209809000&w=900&h=900 That should be really easy to fix. There is nothing hidden magic with this swing wing system. But when you laminate the inside ...

For material we also had membrane sails (gransegel) in our DF800 but those won't last in cruising use. Go for tri-radial laminate if you wish to have your sails in one piece more than 3 seasons. For sail loft go for https://www.loongsails.com/ They have bought all the machines, loft etc from China S...

from the hull models 3d printing should be no problem. Raw scan data has holes so i think those are not good for printing without some modifications...

We have Gransegel 25sqm squaretop main (top width 1,5m, technora membrane) and 15 sqm jib (carbon/technora membrane) on our DF800 cruising. The main is really good and I would not change. Jib in other hand would need to be completely redesigned. Gransegel "standard" DF800 cruising jib cann...

Now rudders are moved out to amas, wonder when centerboard will go to amas too. It will make cabin design easier. Is there any sailing drawbacks with centerboards on amas? It will be more things to move around each tack, one board down another up. Any other? If you move the boards to amas you loose...

We had some problems with our daggerboard- sometimes it stuck either in up position or down position so i opened up the table- everything was ok and i have no idea what was causing the original problem. At the same time I remembered this topic and noticed that our daggerboard is not going all the wa...

Hello Bo Wetzel,

I know the Dragonfly Register, but its really not up to date. I know that most of the Finnish Dragonfly owners ain't on the list including our boat i think, but i have sent the details to you via the form now. Hopefully more Dragonfly owners will show up on the list too.

Cheers

Hi, It would be nice to know how many Dragonfly trimarans we have here in Finland - At least we have us (me and Vepo) with DF800 CR #160 and ofcourse our propeller head Mika with DF1000 R Here in Turku. Hope everyone could join this topic. Maybe in someday we could arrange some sort of meeting or so...

This would be great if someone has the files, for the cockpit stickers! And If someone needs the information about the stripes on the hull the upper part of the stripe is 25mm wide and lower part of the stripe is 35mm wide with 10mm clear space between. And like Cruisefly wrote it's originally made ...

Topcoat RAL 9010, and if you need to make it perfect you should mix some "ocra", to make it more "yellowish" (beaware that you only need to very very small amount of "ocra") and match better to the old gelcoat. You should also note that topcoat change color when hardene...

Hi EarthBM,

I have coded my own bridge with python on Arduino Yun board. (http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardY ... wsV-vmSx8E)

It is connected to NMEA 0183 in/out wire on Tacktick wireless interface (Tacktick outputs RS485/RS482, not RS232).

Double Horizon, I'm not sure if i understand you message right or maybe you haven't had a look for the app for a while. Sailtimer app uses iPad's built in GPS module and it will accept NMEA wind sentences over wifi (if your wind vane is capable of sending data in format "$IIMWV" and you ha...

Hi EarthBM, Did you get your serial to wifi bridge working? I had similar problems with my own serial to wifi bridge at the beginning. After changing the port to 10110 suggested somewhere over the internet made it magically to work with the iPad softwares. So if you are able to change the default po...

Has anyone made polar diagrams for DF800?

Maybe its too late for you but the model "Brenderup 1605 QB". I think its an custom made for Quorning Boats so it can be extremely hard to find.
