Ian Farrier's F 24 MkII represents a sophisticated evolution in folding trimaran design, bringing high-performance multihull sailing within reach of trailer-sailing enthusiasts. Built by Corsair Marine from 1994 onward, this 24-footer showcases Farrier's renowned expertise in creating fast, seaworthy trimarans that can be easily transported and launched. The boat's impressive beam of nearly 18 feet provides exceptional stability and generous deck space when deployed, while the innovative folding system allows the outer hulls to fold alongside the main hull for trailering and storage. Construction utilizes fiberglass with foam sandwich cores, delivering a strong yet lightweight structure that contributes to the boat's spirited performance. With a fractional sloop rig featuring a rotating mast and a substantial sail area-to-displacement ratio of 39.55, the F 24 MkII offers exhilarating sailing performance that can easily outpace conventional monohulls. The boat excels in coastal cruising and day sailing, where its speed and stability shine. While capable of longer passages in experienced hands, it's particularly well-suited for adventurous sailors who want multihull performance without marina slip limitations. The relatively shallow draft enhances its appeal for exploring shallow bays and launching from beaches, making it an excellent choice for sailors seeking versatility and performance.
