Farrier Marine

Description:

The F-44R is a racing version of the Farrier F-41, with more waterline length, a taller rig and lower profile cabin for less windage and weight. Although designed as a high performaing racer, the F-44R still offers a good amount of accommodation and amenities. The F-41 upper cabin can be added later if the use of the boat changes to require more living space for cruising.
