The electrical upgrade was my favorite part. Beautifully done.
Great idea getting rid of the ugly carpet. Makes the boat look like a current boat. It looks great.
Lots of clean minimalist ideas. I thought your 31 was floating really high ... just looked totally lite in the "Above Deck" video. Now I see why. Great work.
Wow, that's a serious racing setup! Beautiful job, really well done.
Great video. The interior of the boat is amazing. A few technical questions: 1) Can you give a time estimate for how long it took you to get rid of the carpet? Also is there any specific technique or product you would recommend? 2) Did you paint the carbon fiber bowsprit? 3) Have you had your spars evaluated with ultrasound, or are you planning to do this at some point?
1) Carpet removal 12 work hours. Sanding probably 20 work hours, maybe more. I could have sanded another 20 hours for only a marginal smoother finish. No fairing compound was used for weight reasons 2) Yes painted - just a little white spray paint, not a full perfect coating. Just some over-spray. Reason: I actually prefer the look over black carbon. Added benefit: It doesn't get super hot baking in the sun. 3) I have not had them checked with ultrasound. I have (some) composite experience and (maybe foolishly) trusted my judgement on the integrity of so far. Should I ever "stress" any spar to a point where it becomes questionable, I would do so. But for now no.
I’m a big fan of your minimalistic approach, and everything you do have is very well done!!!
Again! Great job with this video. So many great ideas. You have put a lot of love into your boat. Thank you again for your videos, we all appreciate it.
Aloha

Brilliant videos Thomas - lots of ideas for our F32
Very creative- gives my all kind of ideas
I'm blow away this is awesome!
Such a nice boat! No idea you could put C foils on these. Gotta research this! Well sorted and clean. What year is this one?
The boat year is 2005. Join fct.groups.io/ and search for C Foils under existing topics. That should give you a starting point.
Fantastic work Thomas! Hope you felt that heavenly hug come down from Ian Farrier - I'm sure he would have loved to see everything you've done to keep Condor skiff-like and true to the 1D mission. Because you are very safety conscious, I'll ask what you've thought about and/or done in case of flipping the boat. The only thing I see from this interior video is to make a little keeper so the handheld vhf stays in it's pocket. And to strap down the Torquedo battery pack wherever it lives when you're sailing. (I need to go watch the propulsion video :)
Step 1) Don't flip it at all. Jokes aside - I usually sail in the Northbay of San Francisco with a water depth of 12-16 ft. If I flip my mast will snap off, but I am in semi protected water, with Ferries coming by every 20 minutes in the main channel. I will place my EPIRB into the cockpit compartment that can be accessed via an inspection port from the underside if flipped. The batteries are strapped down via a frame.
@@thomashasch Hi Thomas. Yeah, thinking about it a bit more, on the F27 I had a floating dry bag for the handheld VHS and other “inverted necessities” (eg big whistle, knife, flashlight) that would get loaded into before going out the Gate. Little keeper loops you can put over a wrist when using each thing is a good idea. I think the VHS is most important in the Bay, as in the Loch Lomond sheriff boat for San Pablo Bay. What about a jackline under the main nets; does Condor already have X-stiffening lines under there? I don’t have lines under there but assume we’d clip into the net lacings up against main hull.
Also, regularly add silicone grease to the threads of the lower emergency access hatch spin-off cover. They are often neglected and near impossible to get off if they’ve crusted shut for years.
Yes good advise.
fantastic thank you
Great! Got some ideas for LIGHTNESS ;-)
_Resin ROCKET!_
Ohh. 146% completed 😁. I'll take your idea of lazy Jack. Are you going to set swing bowsprit?
Not sure what you mean by "swing bowsprit". I assume you are referring to some of the older F27's. My Bowsprit retracts all the way into the vberth below deck.
@@thomashasch rotating bowsprit to turn it left and right
@@zorrolog1793 That would require an entire rebuild of the bow-section and bowsprit support structure. You can see it 2:15 into the above deck video ruclips.net/video/jrimzSrn1Os/видео.html
Nice work brother. What kind of knots are you usually sailing with?
Do you mean how many knots of boat speed I see on avg? 16 knots on a slow day, doesn't even need to be windy. 18kts still easy - you can still have a snack. 20kts is like a sound barrier. Above 21/22kts things get sketchy and wind speed needs to be at 20kts too.
@@thomashasch Awesome! And yes, that was exactly what I was curious about. Pardon my poor use of words haha. Boat looks real nice. My dream is to own a trimaran one day and sail the 7 seas as my grandfather did. Thanks for the content again.
I'm interested in what swingarm you have for your chartplotter. I've been trying to configure something for my F27 and your solution looks better than what I've come up with so far.
Oh, and FYI, I have had my boat at Treasure Isle Marina till this past winter's hurricane level winds tore it apart. So, I may have seen you out on the water at some point. My lifetime max was 21kts in perfect conditions (strong wind, flat water, good rail meat).
The company is Ram Mounts. They have a bunch of options - I don't think they make the exact one I have anymore. But similar items are available: rammount.com/collections/marine-swing-arms
@@thomashasch I thought it looked like a Ram but couldn't find anything matching on their website. So, I will see what gets me close from their current products.
👍😉
Great video. I'm interested in adding c-foils to my F-25A. All 3 hulls are strip cedar West System. Any advice as to where to start?
I would suggest to join the F-Boat Group and search for Foil topics - such as this one: fct.groups.io/g/main/topic/95815013#76833
Thanks, will do!
How much for a boat like this? Is 6'1" too tall for that boat?
The used boat market prices vary drastically based on the exact model type on these boats roughly 90K to 180K. Think of it like asking for Porsche 911. Base model versus GT2 vs.Turbo. Big difference. Standing headroom on a F-31 is 6'2
were can i buy plans for a trimaran like this one...
Do a search for "Farrier F9 / F9R Plans". To my knowledge the plans are no longer for sale, but I could be wrong. My boat was made by Corsair Marine in California. Corsair Marine is nowadays building in Asia (Vietnam). The production model predecessor to my boat is called "Corsair 970" and is still in production.
