New Farrier F-45

A new F-45 cruising catamaran design is now under development, loosely based on the F-44, but it has fast become a brand new design, with completely

revised lines and many other improvements. The F-44 was in turn based on the F-41 which is now a well proven ocean going design, one having sailed

trans Pacific from Australia to the US, and one from Europe to New Zealand. The owner of Multihulls Direct, had already built his own F-44SC, and

while now sold, another order had come in from Cooper Boating in Canada for their fleet, and it was a good time to go one better.

The F-44SC is one of the fastest boats in Subic bay with a top speed so far of 23 knots. This boat is however used

primarily for cruising, and it is light (note how high the transoms clear the water) which makes it a great and fast

cruiser. The new 2015 F-45 will also have a curved foil option, plus an all carbon F-45R with a taller 69' mast will

be another option.

The build has started at Multihull Direct's factory at Clark Free Port Zone in the Philippines. Four building stocks are

being used, for inner and outer hulls, plus bridge deck and upper cabin. Construction will be all hand vacuum bagged

epoxy foam core, with a standard of finish inside and out equal to the F-33.
