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.
– Once Again A Superb Cat –
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.

– Why Smaller is Better –
–
A boat of any size is a fairly major financial commitment. The more often you use it the better value to you it is. A large luxurious yacht sitting in a marina pen except for the occasional day sail is not good use of hard earned money unless you are a lot wealthier than I am. This, of course, is not the case if you’re a live aboard, race or cruise extensively, but I see large lovely boats, sail, multi, mono and power that never seem to leave their pens or moorings except for the annual pullout, clean and antifoul.
– Pathfinder 'M' Series - OFFSHORE 45 –
Where Tradition Meets Cutting Edge
Like a butterfly about to emerge from its cocoon or a sprinter on the blocks at the start of a race, the first Pathfinder ‘M’ series Offshore 45 sits ready to go in the water and although she is still in the shed, the boats stance cuts a powerful figure.

Trimaran Baikal 36 SMT
A new product for diving centres

– Seawind 1260 - Refined, Refreshed, Reliable –
Three words sprang to mind when a first look at the Seawind 1260 was made. Refined, Refreshed and Reliable. The Seawind 1260 has been a benchmark in medium sized cruising cats since the launch about 10 years ago of the original 1250 and there wasn’t too much that needed changing on this world cruising cat.
– After 10 Years Cruising –
What equipment really works
Melissa and I took delivery of our brand-new Lagoon 440 (#203) Sonrisa in La Rochelle, France in March 2007 and after some 15,000 miles it seems an appropriate time to look back at what equipment has really worked well and continues to do so.

“Light, sturdy, fast, offshore, self-sufficient, hybrid” was the brief for the uncompromising owner of the latest model Schionning G-Force 2000 Speciale. What resulted is a performance cat that is truly pioneering.
