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.
Excellent communication.
We had a great purchasing experience with The Multihull Company. Got us into the boat we really wanted, our broker Josie was amazing, she walked us through the entire process, negotiated the deal we wanted and gave us great advice throughout. If you are looking to purchase a boat we can’t recommend them enough.
It’s been a few weeks now and the dust has settled. We had a great experience with the Multihull Company and in particular our broker, Caroline Laviolette. Caroline was happy to share her knowledge of the market and the catamarans we were interested in purchasing. She was patient and thorough as we looked at several boats in SE Florida, helped us narrow our search and eventually purchase a beautiful 2017 Lagoon 42. Many thanks to the team at The Multihull Company!
We had a great experience purchasing our boat with Will Miller as a buyers agent. Purchasing our first large Cat is a daunting experience and Will was able to walk us through the process with ease. Will was very straight forward and constantly gave us honest feedback as well as finding and pointing out details on all the boats that we may not have noticed or thought about.
We had a great experience and would use them again.
I would specifically recommend a buyers agent when purchasing to help weed through a lot of problems and misrepresented boats on the market.
We have had great experiences with the Multihull company. We both sold our old boat through them, and bought our new boat through them. I have to say that Will Miller is top-notch, and Riley was great as our broker for selling our O day 39. when you buy a Salt or Boat through them, I feel like you are not only clients, but you are friends. The lines of communication were always open and we were always informed of everything going on.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company. We are a team of skilled professionals who thrive on providing expert, trustworthy advice and service to catamaran and trimaran sailors around the globe.
