A new boat delivery is exciting on its own. A new boat delivery that leads directly into an Atlantic crossing carries an even stronger sense of purpose. Dan's new Dragonfly 36 Performance is beginning her ownership story with exactly that kind of ambition.
Dan has spent a lifetime around boats, sailing, and the marine industry, and he has owned a wide variety of vessels over the years. When he discovered the Dragonfly 36 Performance and experienced what makes the design so capable, he knew he had found something special. The boat combines performance, thoughtful cruising ability, and the kind of engineering that inspires confidence for serious sailing plans.
Before setting off across the Atlantic, Dan is undertaking an extensive shakedown cruise from Denmark to France. That is a smart and important step. A shakedown passage gives an owner time to learn the boat under real conditions, check systems, understand sail combinations, refine routines, and discover the small details that matter before a much larger passage.
Windcraft Multihulls is supporting the process along with Dragonfly expert Carsten Steenberg. That kind of support can make a meaningful difference. Even experienced sailors benefit from time with people who know the boat deeply, understand the systems, and can help an owner build a strong foundation before offshore sailing.
The Denmark-to-France passage also gives Dan the chance to become comfortable with the Dragonfly 36 Performance while making real miles. It is one thing to learn a boat at the dock. It is another to live with it underway, manage sail changes, work through navigation decisions, and feel how the boat responds over several days.
Congratulations to Dan on his new Dragonfly 36 Performance. Windcraft is honored to be part of this next chapter and excited to see the boat prepared for the adventures ahead. Fair winds and following seas.
