Re: Corsair 37 or Dragonfly 35: Which Is Better for Blue Water Passage Making ?

Yes, inverted on the tramps. IF I'm confident of settled weather and we're just harbor-hopping I might not bother inverting it. I do pull the drain plug and tie it, however. We hoist it with the...

How does it do in a cross-wind when a T-storm comes through packing 60mph + gusts?

Re: Corsair 37 or Dragonfly 35: Which Is Better for Blue Water Passage Making ?

Replying to my own quote here; but after further thought I realize "liveaboard" is a broad term. Even if we differentiate liveaboard from "vacation-cruising" by whether you have all your "stuff"...

Re: Corsair 37 or Dragonfly 35: Which Is Better for Blue Water Passage Making ?

You also stated your requirement is "part-time liveaboards" and I can state with confidence that there is no such thing as a multihull that is both trailerable (by a standard SUV or pickup e.g....

Re: Corsair 37 or Dragonfly 35: Which Is Better for Blue Water Passage Making ?

The DF1000 could be taken across oceans, but people have taken much smaller and less seaworthy boats across oceans too. You asked if I would, and the short answer is no. However, I've never crossed...

I own a DF-1200. :thumb: This is NOT trailerable.... unless:

If you have a Kenworth tractor and a 40-foot flatbed then yes you can trailer it, provided you can hire a lift crane or Travelift at...

Re: Corsair 37 or Dragonfly 35: Which Is Better for Blue Water Passage Making ?

Thanks. It's truly my dream boat and I feel very lucky to own it.

Here's an image of our wake at 14 knots in flat water. Compare the rail top to the horizon and you can see we're not heeling...

Re: Corsair 37 or Dragonfly 35: Which Is Better for Blue Water Passage Making ?

I haven't priced a Dragonfly from factory since 2001, but at that time I thought their markup was less than the costs of installation by a qualified yard. Some options such as radar or heat can be...

Re: Corsair 37 or Dragonfly 35: Which Is Better for Blue Water Passage Making ?

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...

Re: Corsair 37 or Dragonfly 35: Which Is Better for Blue Water Passage Making ?

Detaching the main sheet is not an issue. It is done with a captive-pin shackle.

I own a DF 1200 but all the Dragonfly tris come equipped with a preventer/downhaul (on each side) that is a...

From the web site it looks like version 1.0 hasn't even been finished. Has a Trimax ever floated in water? :whistling:

You make some good points. The folding mechanism does come at a price, in adding complexity and maintenance. The waterstays on a Dragonfly should be replaced on a scheduled basis every 5 years (2...

"Without taking price into consideration"? If they were priced equal it would be a no-brainer. The DF35 is in another league in fit and finish and equipment. That's the one your wife will like, and...

I single-hand my Dragonfly 1200. The only problem might be if tying up when the wind is strong. Anchoring is no problem, but approaching a dock or mooring might get a little tense if it is windy...
