The silent approach...I like it. Nice footage.

[@justdoi8909]

Superb video, most unusual because it is mostly at-sea shots and there is no-one constantly speculating on how long to the next landfall, thank you.

[@poblanomanu2b]

Wow, great vid. I’ve just become interested in trimarans and this video seals the deal for me. Those waves starting after 18:14 . . . and the way she handles them. No words.

[@rangie944]

Superb, thanks for sharing your passage with us

[@juniorrivera2336]

What A Beauty. This Trimaran Is Out Of This World. Smooth Sailing With Those Sea Waves. Winter Weather? Awesome. 🤓👍

[@naguzer]

Good video, thanks guys!!

[@worldwyn]

Nice video. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@cornenothome4191]

Oh man those waves just make me want to be there. You gotta love your job insanely! Nice boat too she seems to sail like a charm.

[@joergstaude236]

Thank you. Very nice video about someone playing it safe, while delivering someone elses precious boat. I loved the footage. Wish to do that shorthanded, with my own multi one day.

[@bizeigel]

Yes what a great comment. They could have pushed her more but they delivered her safely and probably didn't break any gear.

[@LeonardoGardil]

Excelente Navegacion,!!!!! Me encanto.

Sehr schönes Video, danke! Eines Tages werde ich mir vielleicht eine Dragonfly 32 leisten:)

[@rallerahoi]

Das hätte Kiel gerne, dass der Kanal so heißt. Aber nix hier, das ist der Nord-Ostsee-Kanal. Immer eine Handbreit Punkte über Kiel. ;-)

[@joew717]

sailing is one of those activities you can never learn enough about. People have been sailing for thousands of years yet it's constantly evolving through materials, engineering, and competition that the next new thing is always around the corner. Lithium batteries and satellite internet are becoming total game changers that could allow more people to roam the seas. Oh and trimarans are fascinating!

[@innomedelpopolo]

Nice video

[@mhyachting]

Kompliment: Sehr schönes Video von einem Dragonfly. Wir segeln einen älteren DF 1000, zur Zeit in Griechenland... Wellen wie ihr vor Portugal haben wir noch nicht erlebt...

[@YachtskipperDe]

Das muß man auch nicht unbedingt haben! Danke fürs Kompliment!

[@YachtskipperDe]

[@antoineammoury5433]

Nice trip wonderful sceneries nice music-During the passage with the gale force wind ,you were motoring while reefing the jib?

[@KouilluLKaribou]

Thx

[@billfournier1043]

Nice boat/video. Was just wondering what your thoughts are on a boat like this for blue water sailing? Thanks.

[@lejardindekasper]

My dream!!!

[@markthomasson5077]

Curious the comments of you throttling back when sensible. The beauty of a multihull is that you can sail safely and comfortably running in strong winds. And you can see those waves are quite steep and very close together. (If you want to see a Dragonfly giving it welly, there is great footage on KZbin of a 25 in the Round the Island Race. )

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

She looks smooth and pretty quick, as one would expect. How did she sail on the open ocean? 6:25 Portuguese?

[@peregrinegrace8570]

I want one now....

[@rockroll9473]

Cool

[@svenrump3287]

quite some waves off Portugal

[@terrancedick8912]

Wow.very visual,great if you Could put boat speed dial,wind Speed and direction too. On the side.i like boats on Anchorages not some ones Face talking about themselves.great job

[@YachtskipperDe]

Danke! Mehr Infos gibt es hier: www.yachtskipper.de/blog/yachtüberführung-7/dragonfly-trimaran/

[@joesphbest3120]

Who makes this boat?

[@cyberfunkmeister]

Is this boat capable of transoceanic crossing like the Pacific?

[@Manatee-Sailing]

Schönes Video :-) Danke für´s mit nehmen. Der gezeigte Fallenknoten ist recht brauchbar, wenn man Ihn 1 oder 2 mal im Jahr abschneidet und das Tau 20...30 cm weiter zieht. Dann werden die Stellen der Umlenkrollen und Klemmen immer schön verschoben und das Tau hält länger. Allerdings ist die Krafteinleitung im Bereich des Schäkel´s nicht ganz so schön, wie mit Kausche. Im Fall von Rissen am Fall aber immer erste Wahl und man muss nicht unendlich konfektionierte Ersatz-Fallen mitführen :-) Ahoi und fair wind´s, wo Ihr auch gerade seid.

[@user-wj8wb9jy5t]

Good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@larryboles629]

I have been wondering if the Dragon Fly 35 and now the 40 are robust enough for a Tras-Pacific crossing. This video seems to support that. I still wonder how these stunning boats will do in 40-50 knot winds. Not that we going looking for high winds, but in any ocean passage the likely hood of running into storm conditions is high. Thanks for the video. Well done.

[@karelcuchal1550]

I wonder also if these two floats are enough sturdy in big waves.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

@@karelcuchal1550 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoKcdqB5hd12htU The Dragonfly 28 can take 10 tons of force on the hull and floats. It's very strong.

[@nickstrong7349]

Best but about a tri is you can outrun any storm

[@larryboles629]

@@nickstrong7349 Nick, I don't buy into that whole "out run a storm" thing. Regardless of what the speed capibility of any ship/yacht/power boat is, odds are the "sea state" will not allow you to reach "Storm Escape Velocity". My 54' monohull has a hull speed of 9.5 knots. Now because I did not plan my passage correctly, I find myself in 45 knt winds on the nose, cross current of 3 knt, seas 2 mtr and building.....How fast can I go? When you find yourself in a situation that you must out run a storm you fucked up long before that! With todays chart-plotters, weather prediciton, sat-com and the ability to sync this all together you should never find yourself in the positition of having to out run anything other than a mean exwife. The best way to out run a storm is to avoid the situation. Remember brother with sea and ships there is only one thing a sailor can 100% control. That is the time you leave the dock. "Unload these sails make more room for whiskey down here, we got enough of this nautical stuff we need room for liquor and beer."

[@Paul_C]

@@larryboles629 you know that planning a trip is a question of what a boat can do, how is maintenance was, where you are going to, and what the next 4 days is expected. Beyond that it is anyone's guess. Poor planning is the worst mistake you can make, regardless of the boat you sail in. So, your comments are null and void. Running from a storm is good seamanship, whatever direction you NEED to flee in. Speed always matters when on the run. You simply don't want to run high to the wind, that is the most dangerous game.

[@fredflintstone9449]

Nice job lads, nice voyages And really nice trimaran too. But I would of had a bit more sails up ,you guys could of got 15 knots on certain passages,

[@moskito5864]

why risk damaging a boat you just transfering? they are not the owners if i understood

[@davidfrancis8899]

Would it be possible to put a Bimini at the rear of the cockpit for the helmsmen or others to shelter under while under sail?

[@BigBadLoneWolf]

you can see the frame for the bimini in the video

[@gregdamario5808]

Very NICE boat. Shipping must be horrendously expensive in Europe because I would have thought it would be cheaper and faster to truck the boat down to Portugal and put it in the Atlantic there. Would that have entailed import duties from France, Spain and Portugal though in addition to the hauling fee?

[@ghotiiii1]

No Import fees; All western Europe is Schengen.

[@austingode]

Would you ever sail it folded ? Or is that just for going in to tight spaces ?

[@52bogie]

Dragonflys are folded for fitting into a slip, but not stable enough for sailing while folded

[@elonbaartar9468]

nice video, its going a bit slower than I expected from a trimaran

[@MrAluminox]

They are making a yacht delivery, so they have to be very conservative. Besides it's just a 35 feet cruising tri, and although there are always wild claims of speed for this kind of boats, in reality these cruising boats, with nice amenities, sweet and usable by not very trained people, are not made for speed. Multis must stay light and these boats are far too heavy for normal and evident reasons. Compare that with a medium sized car, comfortable and usable by any driver, with no claims of speed.

[@GuyCruls]

anyone knows the brand of the catamaran?

[@voilemontagne]

how does this kind of trimaran behave in rough seas. by rough seas i mean gale condition, with more than 4 meter waves. I'm really curious about the safety of these boats... i've seen some DF capsize in some videos, especially the 1200 and the 28

[@BigBadLoneWolf]

ALL DF capsizes were in racing conditions, where they are pushing to the limit and beyond

[@fredbaer7066]

I am sure the vessel is more than capable of doing such trip. It is more a question are you mentally and physically capable of doing this.

[@jaybeegoode8099]

Minute 0:59 -> Gastlandflagge -> tztztztz -> ein Schelm wer böses denkt; ansonsten schön schnelles Boot

[@helmrichharms2225]

Flag upside down is the signal for fortress under siege...as far as I remember 😁

[@AntonHu]

Square running goose-winged on a trimaran? Surely got to be quicker tacking downwind with the gennaker.

[@AntonHu]

...or maybe not! From twitter: /EarthBM/status/190527644394196992

[@fredpinczuk7352]

Very nice boat, and nice video, but Why so slow? Only 7 knots with a Dragonfly is painful to watch.

[@laurentbrochard9078]

Yes, but he suject is to deliver a cruising trimaran, not a racer. Avoid to damage the sails. These black sails are expensive, much more than Dacron. And are not suitable to cruise around the world

[@billhanna8838]

still 7 knts. a bit on the slow side ,Im a delivery skipper (NZ & Pacific) & my 1st. duty to deliver the boat in the same condition as wene i i took over but the least time at sea is the best so if the weather warrants it i go for it , not in a unseamlike way .

[@YachtskipperDe]

When we were speeding up, the tri made 20 knots and more, but in 4-5 m waves became also uncontrollable. It was shooting down the next wave even faster and the steering was lost. So we decided to step down, because we did not want to capsize. If you consider this to be "unseamanlike", we probably don't have the same idea about good seamanship. just imagine, you mess it up, and someone hast to come out in such conditions, to save your ass. Irresponsible.@@billhanna8838

[@MonkPetite]

Better safe than sorry.. one more day and a comfortable trip is worth going for.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

@@YachtskipperDe Agree that slowing down and staying in control is wise. Question: could you set a slightly faster trim that allowed you to surf the waves (longer)? Surfing would seem to be the most gentle condition on both hull and sails, in addition to being comfortable and fast. Perhaps the seas were too confused?

[@DP-qc9qy]

Does anyone know what boats are shown in frames at time 9:58?

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

They may be 18 meter IMOCA boats: www.imoca.org/en/boats/campagne-de-france

[@ZoneTelevision]

Amazing .. would you say this boat is good Bluewater or strictly coastal ?

[@YachtskipperDe]

thats a good question. I personally would prefer a heavier, bigger yacht at high seas, if I have the choice. But she's is very stable and strong. regards from Germany Rainer

[@panther105]

The ocean along the coast of Portugal looked pretty solid bluewater to me. This is a very capable trimaran....!!!

[@ZoneTelevision]

Sorry another question; What was you best day ? ( speed/time )

[@donjohnson2426]

How about the Dragonfly 40?

[@DerAnstreicher]

Wieso hängt man die Gastlandflagge auf den Kopf??

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Eine Courtesy Flag des Landes, das Sie besuchen, wird aus Respekt vor diesem Land geflogen. (A Courtesy Flag of the country you're visiting is flown out of respect to that country.) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_flag#Courtesy_flag Diese Position für die Courtesy Flag ist die zweithäufigste Position bei dieser Typ von Segelkonfiguration. Die am meisten geehrte Position ist am Heck. (That position for the Courtesy Flag is the second most honored position on this type of sail configuration. The most honored position is at the stern. ) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_flag#Flag_etiquette Mit einer Schweizer Flagge am Heck sind die neuen Besitzer vermutlich Schweizer. (With a Swiss flag at the stern, the new owners are presumably Swiss.)

[@DerAnstreicher]

@@LoanwordEggcorn Schön drumherum geschrieben, bei Lügipedia habe ich auch nicht lesen können wieso die Flagge auf dem Kopf steht.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

@@DerAnstreicher Bitte schön! Ja, die Flagge sollte nur bei einem Fehler oder auf dem Kopf stehen ein erster Versuch, es zu erhöhen. (Yes, the flag should not be upside down, except for an error or maybe a first try at raising it.)

[@frankstocker5475]

Hi-tec sails making 6.5 knots, something wrong. Looks like a great daysailer for the lakes but a little too much on the camping side for liveaboard.

[@YachtskipperDe]

In that situation we were just trying to save our lives...

[@user-mp8mu5fe4f]

So do you recommend a trimaran?

[@YachtskipperDe]

Hi النعم ان, depends where you want to go with it. I wouldn't choose it for ocean crossings, despite it was very stiff and stable. Best regards Rainer

[@nobody46820]

Go look at Neel 51ft

[@deibertmichael]

At 5;10 what is this? Fold in Tri?

[@YachtskipperDe]

Yes, its foldable....

[@oldergeologist]

michael d it is a Danish boat. A 35 foot Dragonfly made by Quorning. I had a Dragonfly 800 mk2 ,fixed wing. Very fast and pretty seaworthy for a light 26 footer.

[@deibertmichael]

oldergeologist Wow I like it! Fast and fun! Very cool!

[@johng5122]

I'd say a bit too conservative....nothing wrong with being conservative but the boat was almost pooped, running jib only when you could've been running a good bit faster than the swell, and still not be pushing that boat

[@paxwallacejazz]

You're not showing your sail setup in different conditions not showing inside cabin or storage not really telling us much.

[@hwntwww]

Sailing downwind and the waves are overtaking you- undercanvassed?

[@Paul_C]

How so? It was a job bringing a boat from A to B. That meant minimum damage expected unless it can't be helped. Don't think you understand the job of a transfer skipper. Ah well, there are some seriously under educated people out there, seems you are one of those.

[@YachtskipperDe]

When we were thin up more sails, we were going so fast that we did not have any control about the yacht anymore! Regards - the Yachtkipper-Team

[@BigBadLoneWolf]

@@Paul_C maybe unaware, rather than under educated. the job of a delivery crew is to deliver the yacht, and in as good a condition as possible at the end of the trip

[@dieseldog00]

I had a trimaran but it was only 24' with a 700hp gas engine, power only no sails and ran in the high 90s balls out. Sponsons were immovable unlike this boat. One 33gal. tank in each sponson plus a 44 gal. tank in the bow. Previous owner raced it but I did not, preferring just to cruise around lakes at 50-90mph. If I was going to sail in the ocean it would be with a trimaran, the best multihull design I have ridden in. How do the sponsons move in and out on the Dragonfly I can't see how they do it. Looks like a great cruise down to Grand Canaria I would have loved to have been on board!

Less comfort, less seaworthy, as slow as a monohull. So what's the point?

They are sailing the boat extremely conservatively. You can easily sail three times as fast with a dragonfly, if you know what you are doing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoKcdqB5hd12htU
