Dragonfly 32 Swing Wing, Manual

Page: 51 / 80

A trimaran always fish tale a lot (moves a lot from side to side) and to prevent
this, you install a line from each forward wing (beam), not on the float, but from
the bigger stainless U-bolt on the wing out by the float. Here, you fasten a line
approx. 6 to 7 meters and fasten or tie to the anchor line from both sides. This
way, the boat will stay stabile when resting at anchor.
The reason why this is so important, is due to the fact that the boat fish tale so
much, this can actually damage the stainless anchor fitting and bend this.
If you are not able to make an anchor bridle, then move the anchor line up to the
cleat you use for normal docking.
When anchoring from the center hull without a bridle, the bowsprit must be
pulled in, as the anchor line will catch the bobstay going down to the lower part
of the bow.
