The F-33 trimarans that have been constructed in the Multihulls Direct facility in the Phillipines are also being delivered now.  These are a custom/semi production design and in this case built to a kit stage for the final fitout to be carried out by the owner, the finish looks excellent.

Farrier F-22 production trimaran update, Hulls #2 and #3 assembled and approaching completion.

More progress noted by Ian Farrier of Farrier Marine on the production version of the Farrier F-22 trimaran.

Factory view as of today. Boats #2 and #3 are now full assembled with floats, while the trailer for #2
is nearing completion. Prototype (#1 on trailer at left) is undergoing some improvements in the wing
net area and is about to have its wheels changed as part of the development process. The new wheels
and tires will lower the trailering height by another 25mm (1") plus have a much higher load carrying
capacity to more than cover any heavily overloaded boats.

Farrier F-22 trimaran update, shipshape once more at the Farrier Marine factory and more progress towards production

From the following entry on the Farrier Marine website:

http://www.f-boat.com/pages/News4/FM-Factory2014.html

Progress continues, and we are finally getting factory back into shipshape condition now that the earthquake repair workers have gone. All staff members will also be back from their annual summer holidays next week, which will finally get us back up to full speed. Hulls #2 and #3 are getting closer to shipping, and #2's trailer (with optional stainless disk brakes) is nearing completion in the foreground, photo being taken this weekend.

Everything still feels like a snail's pace however, even to me, but to get a high production level one has to be patient, develop every aspect properly, in minute detail, and then fully document so as to ensure it is easily buildable and repeatable. We are not just copying an old design or using old technology, but developing something truly new in every aspect - just like the original F-27 in fact.

Farrier F-33 trimaran update, hull #1 nearly complete Ian Farrier visits Multihulls Direct in the Phillipines

From the following article on F-boat.com by Ian Farrier of Farrier Marine:

http://www.f-boat.com/pages/News4/F-33Update.html

I managed to spend a day in the Philippines last week to inspect the latest F-33s as being built by Multihulls Direct at the Clark Field Freeport Zone. It was difficult to break away from work on the production F-22, but the all new 2013 F-33 has been proceeding well, and a visit to check on progress was well overdue.

Overall I was very pleased with how it is all going, with company owner Mike Mallory and his crew of 27 doing an excellent job. They have now moved into a new much larger factory, and building is to a very high standard. Some photos taken while there include:

Farrier F-22 trimaran, Hull #1 ready to sail but conditions not cooperative for launching on first attempt

Hull #1 of the new F-22 production trimaran is ready to sail but when they arrived at the ramp conditions were not safe or conducive to launching the new boat with a strong onshore breeze and no breakwater they retreated to try another day so no sailing report as yet.
