The Farrier F-22 is a recreational trimaran, built predominantly of fiberglass with a foam core. It has a fractional sloop rig, with a rotating mast, plumb stems, reverse transoms, a main hull transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a daggerboard or optional centreboard. It has a bare weight of {{convert|1300|to|1500|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and has a float displacement of {{convert|3078|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}}.
The main hull has a self-draining, open transom.{{cite web|url = https://f-boat.com/f-22/specifications/|title = Farrier F-22|access-date = 17 October 2019|author=Farrier Marine |work =f-boat.com|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220411225806/https://f-boat.com/f-22/specifications/|archive-date= 11 April 2022|url-status= live}}
The boat has a draft of {{convert|4.92|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the daggerboard extended and {{convert|1.00|ft|m|abbr=on}} with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. The beam is {{convert|18.08|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the hulls extended for sailing and {{convert|8.20|ft|m|abbr=on}} with them retracted for ground transport or docking.
The cabin has {{convert|5.33|ft|m|abbr=on}} of headroom, or {{convert|6.17|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the optional pop-top installed and in the open position. The cabin is {{convert|7.17|ft|m|abbr=on}} wide and has two settee berths and a forward "V"-berth. A modular alcohol-fire stove and a head are both optional
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. It can be fitted with a spinnaker of {{convert|611|sqft|m2|abbr=on}} or a screecher of {{convert|315|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}.

Operational history

The design was named Sail magazine's winner of the "Best Boats 2019".{{cite web|url =https://www.sailmagazine.com/boats/farrier-f-22 |title = Farrier F-22|access-date = 15 October 2019|last = Cort|first = Adam|work = sailmagazine.com|date = 8 July 2019|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220411230042/https://www.sailmagazine.com/boats/farrier-f-22|archive-date= 11 April 2022|url-status= live}}
Naval architect Robert Perry wrote a review in Sailing Magazine in 2017, praising the details, "there is a single, deep centerboard with a board-down draft of 4 feet 11 inches. The cassette-style rudder make beaching and trailering a breeze. Board- and rudder-up draft is 12 inches. Max beam is 18 feet 1 inch. Note the flat profile to the hull through the middle then it kicks up around station 8. The main hull has that typical inverted bell shape that provides volume where you need it for accommodations and a narrow BWL for speed. There is a very clever galley module that disappears into the seatback area when not being used. This would be camping-style cruising in the F-22 but it would make a great singlehander."{{cite web|url = http://sailingmagazine.net/article-1866-farrier-f-22.html|title = Farrer F-22|access-date = 15 October 2019|work = sailingmagazine.net|date = 1 April 2017|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190416230643/http://sailingmagazine.net/article-1866-farrier-f-22.html|archive-date = 16 April 2019|url-status= live}}
In a 2019 review in Sail, Adam Cort described sailing the design, "Under sail, in near perfect conditions, we easily hit 7.5 knots and occasionally just over 8 sailing hard on the wind in just 10 knots of breeze. Bearing away and unrolling the screecher our speed shot up to 10 then 11.5 knots, eventually touching 14 as we left a wake that would have made a Volvo Ocean Race veteran proud. Yeah, she’s fast. Better still, the helm remained responsive and nicely balanced throughout, while the boat’s amas offer sufficient buoyancy to ensure you don’t have to worry about burying the bows."
