Very interesting thread!
Yes the bar on the DF35 can be raised and you can use it to pull the tent over the cockpit,you need to push the traveller to the side however.
On the dragonfly site there are some pictures of it,well at least of the bar in some different positions and the 2 seats/bench behind the
wheel.
If you click on this link;
Dragonfly Trimarans by Quorning Boats of Denmark | Photo Gallery Photo Gallery
and then click on "Dragonfly 35 construction log" again(yes again,you'll see) and then you can choose between consruction log and dragonfly 35
concept,choose
concept on the right and the 6th picture shows you the raised bar/tent.it is an adobe presentation so I can not copy it here.
Not quite sure what I would choose,the DF 35 is more expensive yet it seems easy to fold,I do not know how easy it is on the corsair,anyone?
(or on the Trimax or the TNT 34 for that matter but I do not wanna have a thread drift
)
I would be cruising myself and the only thing which bothers me about the DF 35(aside from the price) is the traveller which splits the cockpit,is it possible to have a targa
like structure in order to free up the cockpit from the traveller and what would be the disadvantages?anyone?
The
kayak garage on the DF 35 is a supercool feature,I wonder,would a folded banana boat fit into that garage?You would be one of the few below 50ft yachtowners with a hard bottom
dinghy garage,how cool is that?
Had a look at the used market and there are not a lot of DF 35's and corsairs 37's
for sale,saw only one df1200 which I prefer since I want to
cruise not
race around the buoys.Not quite sure how many DF 1200's have been built.anyone knowthis?(whoops therad drift..sorry)
Btw;that contour 50 is awesome,you'll
rule the waves!unfortunately
I do not have a backyard to park the monster...
Cheers,
