This blog was created to share experiences from my building of the Ian Farrier designed trimaran F-22R with other builders interested, and to anyone else that might have an interest in why anyone willingly spends hundreds of hours in a room without windows to build a weird looking boat that will sail circles around the traditional sailing boats in this part of the world

Geometry
Checking what kind of space is left between the float and main hull. It's going to be tight whether a fuller float or any kind of foil but a retractable C-foil.
I must admit that the thought have passed my mind more than once. I was very indecisive whether to build the 22 or the 82 in the first place, and when Ian launched the 85 I was sorry I had come so far on the 22.
But another boat build now will be too much even for my very patient and loving wife.
You can build an F85SR :-) That one has bigger floats, curved foils and you could possibly use the same mast.....
