All Farrier plan sales have now ended

We have completed a first review of your F-9AX plan package. For 30 years I have produced my own plans (for other disciplines) or built using plans from others, I must say yours are exceptional. It is rare that we see plans prepared with such devotion to detail or obvious desire to produce high quality work. Thank you kindly, Fred Tholke, Reno, Nevada.

What’s What?

Trailertri 18, 680, 720 & Command 10 : These were the original Farrier plywood designs for home builders which started it all in Australia from 1973. Plans are now outdated and no longer available, and plywood construction has proved to be just too slow compared to modern strip planked cedar or foam boats. Ply boats also tend to be more expensive overall due to the much lower resale value than that possible for more modern construction methods/materials. Links to more details on these older designs are below.

F-22: The latest Farrier entry level design, and destined to become a full production boat

F-24: Developed at Corsair Marine in 1991 from original drawings by Ian Farrier, but redesigned by Corsair management at that time. Restored back to original Farrier specifications in 1994 as the F-24 Mk II, whereupon it won ‘Sailing World’ magazine’s 1996 Performance Multihull of the Year award.

F-25A : An earlier design for amateur builders, and now replaced by the F-82A & F-82R.

F-25C : A high performance carbon/epoxy kit boat, but now discontinued – details

F-82 : The F-82A and F-82R now replace the F-25A and F-25C, with many improvements and all the latest features incorporated. The F-82R can be built in all carbon epoxy, the same as the F-25C, and it will be faster.

F-9A : A design for home builders developed in 1991, and used as the basis for the production F-31. The F-9A has been very successful with now over 300 building or sailing. These plans have been continually updated ito include all the latest developments, including larger Mk II floats and the F-33 style daggerboard rudder with composite gudgeons.

F-31 : Developed from the F-9A and a very successful production design. All rights were sold to Corsair Marine in 2000, with the Farrier-Corsair separation, and it has now been renamed the Corsair 31 due to design changes by Corsair. The F-31 as such is thus no longer available

F-9AX : Same as the F-9A but with a 15% wider center hull for more room and a 16% higher load capacity. Trailering beam also increases to 2.9m (9′ 6″).

F-9R : A new ultra high performance version of the F-9A with a rotating mast. The home builders equivalent to the F-31R

F-32 : The home builders version of the F-33, and now replacing the F-9 design series

F-32SR : The full race version of the F-32

F-33 : A production design intended to be a maxi trailerable sport cruiser, while still being manageable single-handed – more details

F-36 : A true ocean going cruiser, and demountable for transporting on a trailer (but not folding), and now being joined by the F-39.

F-39 : Another new design that folds for marina docking – based on the F-36 – available only to experienced builders

F-41 : A new ocean going catamaran design for amateur builders.

F-44R : A very high performance version of the F-41

The Tramp : The first production Farrier design (19′ 6″ long), originally built by Haines Hunter in Australia in 1980. An open cockpit day sailer, it was also built in the US for a while where it was known as the ‘Eagle’. Now discontinued but sometimes available on the used boat market. More details below.

F-27 : The second production Farrier design (450 built) and then superseded by the F-28.

Farrier F9AX vs Kurt Hughes 31 Swing Wing Trimaran

Discussion in ' Multihulls ' started by filiperosa , Sep 5, 2010 .

filiperosa Junior Member

Hello, I am an owner of a Farrier F24 MKII trimaran. It is a great boat however I want something bigger for two person extend cruising. I was thinking in building a F9AX from which I have a lot of information. However I found the Kurt Hughes 31 Swing Wing Trimaran that seams easier and cheaper to build. I was looking all around the web for a few days but I could not find too much information about this design. What I really want to know is how the KH 31 compares to the F9AX. How is the interior, headroom, sailing capacities, seaworthy, easier of building, building cost, etc. I would also like to know how Kurt Hughes plans are compared to Farrier ones. Any Kurt Hughes builder here that could share his experience? I really appreciate any help. With best regards, Filipe

Check this out, Filipe: http://www.boatdesign.net/forums/boat-building/kurt-hughes-daycharter-36-a-31846.html There are a couple of us currently building Kurt Hughes catamarans. I'd be happy to answer any questions. filiperosa said: ↑ Hello, I am an owner of a Farrier F24 MKII trimaran. It is a great boat however I want something bigger for two person extend cruising.

Hi Felipe, do you know Kurts homepage: www.multihulldesigns.com ? He has a lot of 30 foot trimarans and you have to look in every section (stock designs -> multihull studio, designs available again, new designs, and so on) He also offers plans for every folding principle including the sliding tube system. Hughes articles are all worth to be read, he is a very experiened Designer offering well sailing designs. Hughes Trimarans are a little more performance oriented than the Farrier Boats (which are more advertising oriented). Thinking of the enourmous amount of money and wheight that will go into the folding mechanism (especially into the Farrier where you can build all three hulls for the price of the Beams and folding things), do you really need the folding? Think about a mooring and a nice little tender. Farriers ergonomics are poor, so you have to sit high with your feet on a step and not on the floor. It will be uncomfortable after a short time. The double bunk in the bow is not really big enough for two. I tried sitting and sleeping in a production F31. Grrreetings from the North Sea Coast, Michel
