Posts: 1,449 | Folks, Many people build Farrier Tris and some even build more than one. This says a lot about the designer and his plans that he has to offer.
Just wondering if there are many people on this forum that have built their own Farrier Tri or do all the home builders generally just stick to the F boat egroup.
So if you don't mind admitting it , it would be interesting to hear from those who have.
Regards, Phill

Posts: 1,449 | Teamvmg, Thank you for letting me know. I only want to know the F boat builders in case I have questions downstream. I'm really glad to hear that you are enjoying the process. That is very encouraging. The detail in the Farrier plans is really very good.
Regards, Phill

Posts: 1,449 | Buccaneer, After careful consideration I think an F82R would suit my needs the best. Not too big, not too small , fast and versatile.
I think this build will be a lot of fun.

Posts: 26 Turks and Caicos Islands | Sam, I, too, am very interested in learning more about the F22 and potentially building one. What attracts you to the smaller boat after building your F28? For me, I just want a daysailer that will put a smile on my face when the wind picks up. Unlikely that I'll ever sail outside of the Turks and Caicos Islands where we live. I would love to learn more about your experiences building the F28 and if you are going forward with the F22. I have read everything on the Farrier site and I am close to ordering plans and study book. I tried emailing you directly but it was returned.

Posts: 26 Turks and Caicos Islands | right, thanks for the correction TEAMVMG. What stage are you at with your F32? I am leaning more toward the F82 now that I've read the study guide a bit more and more info on the site.
