This fabulous Farrier F9R excels in her versatility. ‘Twister’ has provided the grown ups with their fast racing and cruising fun while simultaneously safely introducing the younger generation to all the joys of great sailing and on the water experiences. With its ample accommodation Twister is ideal for groups of family and friends, while its set up and good behaviour when sailing also make it ideal for solo or short-handed adventures. Shallow draft and easy beaching for cruising fun, or ramp it up for racing successes. The choice is yours.
Twister is thought to be one of just a handful of carbon built Farriers in Europe. The ‘R’ in the model version stands for more rig, which on Twister is a rotating “Marstrom” autoclaved carbon wing mast. Combine these features and you have an exceptionally lightweight, super, performance capable boat.
Twister is now on the market as the youngsters are keenly into competitive sailing under their own command.

Description
This home build Ian Farrier Design trimaran was built in Germany and then moved to Britain. The ‘r’ stands for ‘bigger rig’. This and the rotating mast give this lightweight machine even more speed and performance. It was purchased by the current owner in 2016 and has been used for both family cruising and racing. Despite its potential power, this well behaved boat is a perfect for getting the youngsters involved as well.
The simple yet comfortable style make this a very practical boat that is easy to enjoy with more sailing and less maintenanace time. Perfect for shallow waters and beaching or longer passages in comfort and safety, she has all you need to step on board and enjoy a season of cruising, racing or both. There’s ample accommodation for family and friends though Twister is also ideally suited for solo and shorthanded sailing.
Twister comes with extensive paperwork and receipts.
