Being a catsailor since the 1960's getting into an F25c was a major eye-opener. For me the Fboats are the perfect "next step" for catsailors. I have sailed F31R, F31, F28, F28R, F24MKI and my F25c. They really go well in light air as well as heavy air. My F25c has 27000lbs righting moment. I trailored my F25c across country at 70-80mph with no problem. It goes together in less than two hours max. singlehanding [quicker if there are two]. You can beach them if you want. Theres a double v berth in all that I have seen. Some have side berths as well. The Farrier design works exceptionally well. And the major factor is that they are FUNNNNNNN!!!!!

The cabins are small on the smaller boats but in comparison to my ARC22 or FMS20 my F25c is a aircraft carrier. Some of the larger ones have galleys and heads. If you're into traveling and sailing with similar boats you can have quite a time sailing in places that have these boat races. There were races in Key West, FWB, Chicago, Lake Tahoe, San Diego, Houston, LA, etc this year. The guy Farrier is a virtual "Pied Piper" with followers world wide. I have traded emails with F25 sailors form Croatia, Thailand, NZ, AUS, CAlifornia, Florida, Minnesota, Chicago, etc. All were great people to know. Gordon Myers of GMSails of Austrailia came up to sail with me at the 2003 Nationals. Unfortunately I was became ill and could not race. Did Gordon miss a day of sailing NO! He sailed on two F31Rs and had the a great time. The other crew found rides in about 20 minutes. This Fboat community is open/honest/what you see is what you get...try it before you buy a boat. Its what you can do as well as sailboat size.
