Previous models
- Dragonfly 600. Small, open trimaran with demountable floats. Only 11 were built before the model was discontinued in 1994, due to it being "too expensive to produce".
- Dragonfly 25 MK 1. Older smaller model, predecessor of the 800.
- Dragonfly 800 MK I. In 1985, Erik Quorning came 1st in the Round Great Britain and Ireland race in one of these boats.
- Dragonfly 800 MK II. A non-swingwing model predecessor of the more recent Dragonfly 800.
- Dragonfly 800 MK III (Swing Wing). This model was introduced in August 1989 and was replaced by the Dragonfly 28 in 2009. There were two versions, Cruising and Racing, differing on the size of mast and sails. About 300 were built. Olympic sailing legend Paul Elvstrøm’s last boat, which he owned for 10 years, was a (modified) DF 800.
- Dragonfly 920. This model existed in two versions: Touring and Extreme. The Extreme version has the same center hull as the Touring, but longer arms and floats making it wider when unfolded, which allows the use of a taller mast and bigger sails. It is approximately 15% faster.
- Dragonfly 35. This model is an offshore and ocean cruiser. It replaced the Dragonfly 1000. As with the 920, two versions exist: Touring and Ultimate. The Ultimate has a taller mast and bigger sails, but the same beam as the Touring version.
