New F-22R launched in South Africa
From F-boat.com news updates page:
http://www.f-boat.com/pages/News4/F-22inSouthAfrica.html
Peter How has just launched his F-22R on Gariep dam in South Africa and writes:
Hi Ian
Most of the bugs sorted out now, including the jib furling. Upwind it points well and sails almost
at the same speed as the apparent wind on my handheld meter.
Sails hands off in a straight line. Folding the floats on the water for docking on the trailer each
day is very easy. The low weight and wide mast cord make it risky to leave out next to a jetty with our Karoo
winds (60 knots downdraft measured at Oviston down the lake last week).

Peter Hoejland's F22-R sailing update
Sailing update from F-boat on Peter Hoejland's F-22R which he launched last year.
http://www.f-boat.com/pages/News4/F-22inDenmark2012.html
Peter Hoejland launched his F-22R last year, and has now completed a full sailing season. Peter writes:
Hello Ian
End of first season with the F-22R. Here in Denmark it is almost winter and no more sailing until spring
The boat has behaved and performed beautifully. We have not done a lot of racing, but the speed is
impressive. Other multihulls have to be a lot bigger to keep up, and we are constantly improving,
especially as we get more comfortable with the boat and put more pressure on her. It can take a lot
more wind than you think
It goes up (and down) wind and tacks with any sail configuration. Also jib only, if we want to take it
easy. That is a very nice feature when the wife and I are cruising. On the other hand she is also getting
addicted to the speed, so not much taking it easy.
