February 15, 1947-December 8, 2017
Ian Farrier stands proudly with his most successful production boat, the F27.
By now the electronic and print media have published a number of eulogies of the life of Ian Farrier and his accomplishments, I would like to share here a version of the notes from my address at his funeral in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Bagatelle
For those out there that had knowledge of multihulls in the 80’s or 90’s one catamaran was always known as she had competed in most races, being the AMOC and SOMR champion setting many records between Victoria and Tasmania, circumnavigating Australia and her consistant form and usability helped Loch Crowther promote his design skills. After refitting her for another trip to the Kimberley the fickle finger of fate stepped in.
DOUBLE FUN
Versatility in a boat means it will be used more and of course it allows canny builders to supply different markets; such is the case with the remarkable Aquila 36, reports KEVIN GREEN.
POWERCAT WITH BENEFITS
Asia Catamarans yard in Phuket has just completed a new sailing powercat, an interesting boat that I enjoyed looking around recently, reports KEVIN GREEN
LUX TRAVELLER
Lagoon has created a flagship for far away places and a luxurious party boat in one go with the launch of the Seventy 7.
