Farrier F-22 trimaran Farrier Marine
We have been keeping under cover here in New Zealand the past year or so, with several completely new designs under development, and I have found that it is always better to ensure designs are developed properly before fully releasing them onto the market. The F-22, in particular, is a totally new folding trimaran, and now fully developed. It is based on earlier F-boats such as the F-27, but virtually nothing has been left unimproved.
Twelve F-22s now built
F-22s have now been shipped to Australia, Switzerland, UK, Dubai, Spain, the USA (2) and the next two are going to Sweden. We currently have an order backlog of 3 - 4 years, but this should start to drop in 2017 as we begin to expand and increase production. This should mean that 2017 will also be the first time that the production F-22 will begin to appear in Boat Shows.
Meanwhile, the new F-45 catamaran is proceeding well in Multihull Direct's Philippine Factory with the first all carbon F-45CR version scheduled to be launched by mid year,
while the new F-33 is also being put into production in the Philippines, to be followed by the F-22 once we have finalized all aspects in New Zealand.
