TO STORE THE BOAT ON LAND:
The best possible storage on land is to order from our yard either a steel cradle
and/or a steel trolley, where the boat can rest on the four reinforced positions
under the water stay hull fittings on the center hull. Only store the boat in folded
position on the Dragonfly Trolley, folded out puts too much load on the front car
hook.
Quorning Boats also offer for free the design of the steel cradles so you can have
these be made locally.
If storage on land is not possible with the designed steel cradles/Trolley, we
recommend resting the center hull on wooden blocks or pallets on the
centerboard casing, you will see it facing down under the center hull. Only
support the boat in the centerline of the center hull.
For sideway stability – ONLY SUPPORT the floats with wooden block or pallets,
best under the forward beam and or the forward deck hatch – use also carpet or
similar, to protect the hulls and antifouling.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the main load is on the centerboard casing.
Thereafter, backup with wooden blocks or pallets forward and aft on
the center hull.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
We do not recommend storing the boat folded on land with the mast
up. If the mast must stay up – the boat must be folded out.
The hulls are very fragile, and it is very important that you and/or your
boatyard follow our recommendations and guidelines on how to store
the boat on land.
Be careful not to store the boat on land, where high tide or seasonal
flooding can reach the boat.
Never store or transport the dragonfly 40 on monohull cradles, this
will never work as this is not designed for folding trimarans.
