The Dragonfly 28 however is the largest trailerable tri from their range.

For a HP to stay within a beam of 2.5m folded means = 2.0 m for the berth accross + 0.5 m for the lee hull.

To stay within 8.5m of length of ww hull = two 1.5m berths + 0.8m galley + 0.7m head + 0.8m berth + 0.7m companion way + 1.25m bow ends. Instead of the hull way on the side to use as corridor, bring that more to the center of the cabin with an overhung bench of 0.5m on ww side of a 0.5m wide sole (headroom easily 1.9m) with 0.5m of bench and 0.5m of foot space to lee (together = 2m) under the outside bench, much like an exagerated german sol but with Steinar style longitudinally placed outside bench. Also excellent deck clearance and low windage as there is no fight for headroom in the center line of the cabin. 

With 12m high schooner masts this could easily beat the Dragonfly on all counts if the tight folding of the HP can accomodate the placement of the rudders. Would love to make the video to compare the spray from the "floats" of both boats from 13 knots on. 

I do not quite understand "The tri can widen out the stern to take the weight of the cockpit and aft cabin."
