About the F-32SR

The F-32SR is a high-performance catamaran designed by Farrier, with production records indicating a build year of 2012 and an unknown total hull count. Its lightweight displacement of 2712.0 lb and high SA/D ratio of 66.4 underscore its reputation for speed and agility, though owner reports highlight significant structural maintenance challenges.

Best for:

This boat suits experienced sailors seeking high-performance coastal cruising or racing, particularly those comfortable with active maintenance and technical troubleshooting. It is less ideal for novice owners or those seeking a low-maintenance, plug-and-play cruising experience due to the prevalence of critical structural and mechanical issues.

Bluewater capability:

While the F-32SR's low capsize ratio of 6.66 and fractional sloop rig suggest offshore potential, the critical frequency of rudder/shaft failures and deck core moisture issues raises serious concerns about its reliability for extended bluewater passages without extensive prior refurbishment.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include other Farrier designs like the F-33 and F-36, which share similar high-performance hull forms and lightweight construction philosophies. It also competes with other 32-foot performance catamarans such as the Lagoon 32 or Beneteau First 32, though those typically offer heavier displacement and different rigging configurations.
