What this video covers

A 28-ft Dragonfly trimaran, trailered from Tønsberg to Sandnessjøen, completed a four-week, 1,000-nautical-mile round trip to Tromsø along the Helgeland coast.14:18 The crew utilized the boat’s folding mechanism to transport it by road, avoiding the need for cranes by using the boom as a lever to step the mast.1:18 The vessel’s 6.5-meter beam and shallow draft allowed for comfortable coastal cruising with minimal heeling, while the ability to retract the rudder and centerboard provided security during close encounters with orcas and minke whales near Senja.22:55 The crew averaged 30 nautical miles per day, stopping at remote fishing villages like Solvær and Norskott, and integrated mountain hiking into the itinerary, including ascents of Møysalen and peaks on Andørja.14:08 Local residents frequently provided logistical support, including vehicle transport to trailheads.11:24 The trip confirmed that a trailerable multihull offers significant flexibility for exploring northern Norwegian waters, where infrastructure is modern but traffic remains sparse.
