Hi,

Does anyone know what this is?

24 ft Trailer Tri | Sail Boats | Gumtree Australia Ballina Area - Ballina | 1014794607

Thanks in advance!

I'm no tri expert, but that could be a Farrier F24.

Good buy if it is.

It looks like someone built a corsair or farrier 24ft, and didnt want to use the folding mechanism. None of the F24s were designed to use ply and none designed to have fixed beams. Its not a lot of money, but really really worry about structural integrity

Here is a C24 to compare.

It looks like a Farrier, one of his early designs pre-dating the F- series that were designed to be built in ply. The TrailerTri 720 model would be just about 24 feet long. Farrier's designs are very highly respected here; they are supposed to be very competent sailing boats.

(Farrier Trailertri 720)

They're popular here on Australia's East Coast; they come on the market now and then and I looked at a couple of them (not this one) before I bought my boat. If it's in good nick, it would be a good price. But there's not much room belowdecks. Also, they're big on a trailer and I wouldn't want to trailer-sail one, especially single-handed as the set up and tear down of the rigging would be something of an undertaking.

Hope this helps!

Cant trailer sail that one, it doesnt fold

**Coops** · 15-01-2014, 04:34

The ad says that it has a trailer.

Coops.

In the photos one of the amas is standing upright and it has the correct cut outs in the hull for the beams to fold, I would guess the folding mechanism has been removed for the hull rebuild.

Hi,

Thanks for all the replies, the owner assures me it is not a Farrier design and he has scoured the Internet looking for an answer. This boat has been sailed a lot and has not broken yet, it is being refurbished because of a few rot spots.

Note the rig seems to be a cutter rig! Farrier never did that

House and amas look wrong for a Trailer Tri.

Perhaps someone got the plans and did some altering?

EDIT: posted after ^^^

There is some resemblance to a Crowther Buccaneer 24 though they demount rather than fold. Probably someone did do some modifying, a interior picture could help, what sort of board does it have?

Second Cavalier's assessment, with modifications. see below Buc24 drawings

Hello,
I'v owned a Crowther Buccaneer 24, it is too far form that design. The AMA's are way different.
It might be a Corbett Design, not sure if they made plans for a 24'
» 2007 Corbett 21 trimaran
It looks a little like the 21

It does but the forward beam attaches in a different location and the main hull where it joins has a wing. Would anyone alter that? For what benefit?

Cavalier MK2 · 16-01-2014, 20:51

I noticed the wide sized hull but still think somebody started with some Bucc 24 plans and went to town. Not hard for someone to say "now I just need more room". The beams and folding remind me of Kendrick. It might be a one off...
