The Farrier F-33 is a technically advanced trimaran design built to very high standards. It is a fast and comfortable cruiser, fully trailerable but yet has ocean-going capability. The F-33 trailers at 9′ 6″ wide, which will require a simple yearly permit in most areas. Advanced design construction techniques are employed to ensure the highest strength to weight ratio and efficient hull shapes, making the F-33 an exhilarating performer and among the fastest in its class to be found anywhere.
High5 was originally bought as Stage 1 Kit from Farrier Marine and completed by SN Composites, a fabricator certified by Ian Farrier. Outfitted by Precourt Systems, Trois-Rivieres. Reluctantly for sale by its original owner.

Construction
The F-33 has epoxy foam core hulls, carbon/glass fiber beams, all extensively vacuum bagged, and finished with a two pack linear polyurethane (LP) finish. The F-33R uses more carbon fiber in selected structural areas, for the maximum cost/weight benefit. Hi5 got carbon beams and carbon bulkheads.
SN Composites is a certified fabricator for the F33. Construction is controlled by an extensive production control system that was developed by the designer Ian Farrier. This includes fully colorized laminate guide sheets, with every laminate color keyed, to ensure nothing is left to chance or omitted. Assembly was then guided by an extensive checklist system, coupled with many full color guide sheets, to ensure everything goes where it should, and is done correctly. |
Technical Details
The F-33 design utilizes an improved Farrier Folding System with an integrated structural support system. All folding system metal brackets have been replaced by special integrated carbon fiber anchors, the beam anchors now also being internal, reducing windage, weight and complexity. Folding struts are thus set higher, keeping them further away from wave tops. Metal use is being minimized wherever possible, with all chainplates being carbon fiber, and all rigging will be synthetic, many metal details are made from Titanium. The F-33 #5 “Hi5” does not contain ANY wood in any of its parts. “Hi5” carries the label “L” for an extra-long scoop at the transom, providing smooth flow for even rear heavy conditions.
Beams are of a shape, being streamlined to direct any water down and under the boat, while also being slim and high at outer ends for less drag. The inner beam end to main hull connections are external, for easier setup and maintenance, which also allows shorter beams for a lower trailering height, and resulting in reduced wind resistance when on the road. Trailering width is 9′ 6″ (2.9m), which is legal in most areas without any significant restrictions.
The F-33 float bow tips are designed to be sacrificial, and will absorb any float bow heavy impact, to help prevent more extensive damage that can result from collisions. The floats remain watertight, and still sailable in most collision situations.
The retractable bow pole has a stop system, eliminating any pin wear problems, and enabling the bob stay to be easily tensioned.
Cockpit seating area is high to give better visibility forward, and more room underneath, but still low enough so that one still has a good sense of security from sitting more in the boat rather than on it.
Daggerboard control lines are now flush, to reduce deck clutter around the mast. This also creates an easily accessible under deck area right at the mast base, and ideal for mast connector plugs, thus keeping them below deck level, drier, and eliminates any risk of damage from being walked on. “Hi5” has a specially developed trapezoidal daggerboard being taller and with a modern FX Wortmann foil shape, resulting in less drag and higher lift coefficients than more other existing trimaran daggerboards. |
