Күн бұрын

We meet up with Matt Vance to look at the Farrier F22. If you love sailing, and either don't want to keep your boat moored or berthed, or want the freedom of a trailer boat - this is definitely a boat worth checking out. She's not slow either, comfortably achieving 7 knots on the day despite light winds.

Thanks mates. Looks a very clean and practical design. The lack of boom is that much simpler.

Cool furling system for the main sail

I have one, a carbon epoxy F22 built by Melvest Marine in 2011, never yet been in the water. The boat has a carbon mast currently being painted and carbon boom and is the center board style. Ultra light boat. Cannot wait to launch it later this year.

No matter what, this is a very smart boat. Standard rig does 17 kts. Racing rig does 20+ kts! And no exotic materials used like carbon fiber, just standard glas, infused under vacuum. It’s even quite comfortable considering the small size. Production is being moved to US and will re-start this year.

I hope they price it better

Chris Gill I suspect they won’t; sadly the price of a sail-ready boat will most probably go up. And they weren’t cheap to begin with. I own a full set of plans for this design Ian Farrier originally marketed for the home-builder, that’s my shot at owning one of these at a lesser cost than the factory boat will cost. But then I don’t calculate the hours needed to build it which can be anywhere between 1500-3000 hrs.

I have the standard rig and I've had it up to 19kts. The racing rig is taller and has more sail area but that helps with lighter winds. I'm sure they will be doing a lot of reefing in higher wind.

Nice boat, music kinda killed the video, it was way too loud. I noticed the absence of a transom. I wouldn't want to be surfing a wave.

Love this trimaran but too pricey for me.

Yeah. Same

Good luck getting one. Farrier died in 2017. New Zealand factory closed Dec. 2019. Supposedly sold to Daedalus Yachts in North Carolina but there is no info on Farrier website any more, no social media post.

"sails beautifully" and that's a review of a sailboat? Perhaps some figures would be beneficial. Pricing too. After this "review", i will head off to Google for an actual review. It will supplement this advertisement masquerading as a review nicely.
