F-32 (Farrier 32)
Description
The F-32 (Farrier 32) is a high-performance folding trimaran sailboat designed by Ian Farrier as a plans-built (home or professional amateur) evolution of his F-33 production model, introduced in 2007. It addresses the F-33's high cost and limited availability due to currency fluctuations and production constraints, offering a near-identical hull form at a fraction of the price for builders worldwide. Available in variants like F-32A (aft cockpit, standard), F-32AX (extended beam for wider trailering up to 9'8"), F-32R (racing with rotating mast), and F-32SR (sport racer with carbon options and high-aspect daggerboard), the F-32 emphasizes speed, stability, and trailerability with Farrier's patented folding system (amas fold inward in seconds). Suitable for solo to family use, it's a versatile coastal/offshore cruiser-racer, capable of 15–20+ knots planning speeds. Farrier Marine provides detailed plans (~$1,000–$2,000 USD), with ~50–100 known builds since launch.
