Source-derived summary

The Farrier F-22 is a New Zealand trailerable trimaran sailboat that was designed by Ian Farrier and first built in 2014.

Production

The design is built by Farrier Marine in New Zealand and was in production as of 2019.

Design

The Farrier F-22 is a recreational trimaran, built predominantly of fiberglass with a foam core. It has a fractional sloop rig, with a rotating mast, plumb stems, reverse transoms, a main hull transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a daggerboard or optional centreboard. It has a bare weight of 1,300 to 1,500 lb (590 to 680 kg) and has a float displacement of 3,078 lb (1,396 kg).

The main hull has a self-draining, open transom.

The boat has a draft of 4.92 ft (1.50 m) with the daggerboard extended and 1.00 ft (0.30 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. The beam is 18.08 ft (5.51 m) with the hulls extended for sailing and 8.20 ft (2.50 m) with them retracted for ground transport or docking.

The cabin has 5.33 ft (1.62 m) of headroom, or 6.17 ft (1.88 m) with the optional pop-top installed and in the open position. The cabin is 7.17 ft (2.19 m) wide and has two settee berths and a forward "V"-berth.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Farrier F-22” as sailboat class. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2014, 2019—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2014. The account is most persuasive where Farrier, F-22 and sailboat can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as sailboat class. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19577060. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2014 and 2019.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
