LOADING
There are two basic rules for loading multihulls:
1.
Keep the boat as light as possible
2.
Concentrate heavy items in the center of the boat.
It is important not to carry unnecessary gear. We recommend that you go through the
storage lockers several times per year to look for and remove unnecessary gear,
preventing the build-up of unnecessary weight.
The ama storage areas are ideal for big, bulky light items such as fenders, sails, extra
life jackets etc. Heavy items must not be carded in the amas.
The maximum payload for the Dragonfly 1000 is 500kg. (1100 lb.). The maximum
payload in each ama is 100kg. (220lbs). Overloading the Dragonfly 1000 can effect
performance and safety.
