    Thanks Manfred,

    It made me find the owner's report (1 Dec. '09) of the incident on the DF-Tri users forum. Post Tue 08 Dec 09, 12:13 on that thread has the link to the original report of Jens Quorning in PDF.

    In the months after the incident (Oct. Nov. 2009) I looked several times on the Dragonfly manufacturer's website and on that DF-forum* for the cause of the failure.
    * (there was this thread which ended on 6 Nov. '09 without knowing the cause)

    Quote from the manufacturer's report:
    Not on this thread . . :cool:

    Cheers,
    Angel

    Since I have heard the first time of Multihulls things like this happen and this is a sad disappointment with Cats and Trimarans. To be an Aka Angel is a perfect profession in the world of Multihulls.

    Ah... a Farrier proa... clever design... it carries a spare ama... and those starboard hiking boards seems to be a perfect fit to double as spares for the port aka's... nothing can happen to this boat . . :D

    Is there a link to the story..?

    Cheers,
    Angel

    Think they tried to use canted foils. But don`t know exactly. Here is another one: http://www.thedailysail.com/offshor...-on-herve-cleris-brand-new-50ft-tri-snaps-off

    loyal customer

    Well, at least a "loyal customer" :D

    a translated sentence from the video

    ‘‘ .... salient detail is that this boat also was salvaged two years ago by the same salvage company when she had a broken mast .... ’’

    Cheers,
    Angel
