I'm sure the Reynolds tri for sale is a prototype with no others to be built. That sort of excludes alot of on hands experiance by impartial sailors. I didn't see any F27's for sale on the Farrier site at http://www.farrierclass.org/sale.html. but look at the tri's that are for sale. I haven't sailed either boat(hint hint Ferrier sailors) so I can't comment on any of the boats other than I wouldn't mind an F25C as a new personal boat.<br><br>
