About
This is the evolution of a classic and one of the smartest boats you can buy. Ian Farrier took a second look at his hall of fame F-27 and evolved it into the F-28. He added larger amas for more stability and better sail carrying capability. He changed the stick to a rotating wing mast for cleaner airflow, faster upwind sailing, and deeper downwind angles. He added retractable bowsprit to carry a large screecher or asymmetrical spinnaker. Farrier relocated the outboard to allow it to turn with the rudder for better low speed maneuverability and easier docking. And this is the popular center cockpit version in which Ian Farrier created an interior with a private aft cabin, large forward cabin, central dinette, galley, and fully enclosed marine head.
Why is this one of the smartest boats you can buy? Because it can sail at windspeed, relocate at highway speed, and moor in 18" of water (or on its trailer in your backyard). It benefits from very sophisticated engineering by one of the best minds in multihulls. You can cruise it. You can race it. You can single-hand it. You can enjoy it with a crew of friends or a young family. You can sail the Pacific Northwest one week and the Channel Islands the next. You can range far and wide with an F-28. I once sold a Corsair for a fellow who had enjoyed sailing the Inside Passage, the Sea of Cortez, the Great Lakes, the Lakes of Texas, the Gulf Coast and just about everywhere in between on his Corsair. He was 87 years old when he was done! I had another client take one from the Great Lakes half way through the Northwest Passage - single-handed. These are incredibly versatile, incredibly well-engineered machines. This F-28 Center Cockpit has been well upgraded, has a new main sail, fresh running rigging, a nearly new trailer, a recent outboard, and it is ready to take you on your own adventures. Call or email Matthew to set a viewing. She is priced to sell and won't last.
I highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon. He served as our buyers broker. He is responsive, highly knowledgeable and very experienced. He is also an excellent guide and counselor before, during and after the boat purchase process. If you are looking for a good-sailing cat, he seems to collect most of the available boats on the better-sailing side of the market. Top marks.
Andrew did an excellent job getting me started on my new adventures. Worked with my conflicting schedule. Is very knowledgeable in the catamaran industry. 😎
I recently sold my Lagoon 450 with the Multihull Team. I would highly recommend their services. The professionalism and personal treatment I received was greatly appreciated.
Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.
