ABOUT IAN FARRIER

Ian Farrier built his first trimaran in 1969. In 1972, recognizing that trailerable trimarans could be significantly advantageous over trailerable monohulls, he began exploring options for creating one. By 1974 he invented and then patented the The Farrier Folding System™, and the prototype Trailertri 18 was built and launched. It performed in an excellent manner, and thereafter he built 5 additional Trailertris of various sizes, using various configurations. Throughout this period, the foldable, trailerable trimaran began to catch on, establishing itself as a new and exciting vessel. Ultimately, it went on to become one of the fastest growing markets in the sail boat industry.In 1984 Ian moved to Chula Vista, in the San Diego area, and started Corsair Marine. This is where the 
F-27 was designed. After building the initial prototype, he developed and created the entire production systems and quality control guidelines for Corsair. Over one hundred boats were produced annually, and the reputation began to grow. After his tremendous success, and with a desire to focus on new designs, he resigned from Corsair to pursue a new line of Farriers. In 1991 he relocated to Bellevue in the Seattle area, maintaining a relationship with Corsair. He subsequently designed the F-24, F-28 and designed the F-24, F-28 and F-31, licensing Corsair to build these new boats. By the end of 2000, Ian had ceased relations with Corsair, and began exclusively focusing on Farrier Marine.
