A and B.
DRAGONFLY 40 is designed for the CE category A, Offshore and Ocean trips with
max 6 persons aboard, during which the wind may rise to more than max 8
Beaufort on the Beaufort scale = 40+ knots = 20+ m/sec. true wind, and the
waves may rise to more than 4 m significant wave height.
For CE category B, max 8 persons are allowed on board to max windspeed of 8
Beaufort = max 40 knots = max 20 m/sec of true wind speed, and waves may not
rise to more than 4 m significant wave height.
The Dragonfly 40 is certified for the CE by notified organization (body) IMCI No
0609 under the design module Aa – internal factory control and external control
of buoyancy, stability, and flotation.
The provided wind/sail diagram must under all circumstances be respected.
For long distance offshore sailing and ocean crossings, we strongly recommend
the skipper and crew to be quite experienced sailors.
The Dragonfly 40 can well be sailed singlehanded – but this requires extremely
good sailing skills and experience and a 100% reliable and fully tested autopilot.
The boat is unsinkable.
