Libertist 703 - new folding and foiling trimaran

[Russell Brown]

I look forward to seeing more photos and hearing how you like it, Kleppar. When will you get it?

Weight: See weight comparison of several trimarans here:

Libertist 703 weighs 850 kg; lighter than Corsair 760 and DF 25, so not a particularly heavy boat.

I hope to get the boat some time during spring of 2022.

Listed weights are rarely what you will actually see IRL.  For example, a Corsair 600 listed weight is 450 kgs but one weighed locally for racing weighed in closer to 700 kgs IRL.  Similarly, my boat is listed at 317 kgs but weighed for racing came in at 500 kgs.  YMMV.  Every kg is just more water to be shoved out of the way mile after mile.  The foils on the Libertist might actually help above a certain speed--I am sure you will enjoy it in a decent breeze.  That big cabin will be nice and I'm sure that's why it weighs so much for its length.

Do you plan to weigh it?

 

[kleppar]

Well, it will not be the first thing I do......

We do the certification for our units within recognised institution. 
They do know tris a bit. 
You will get real weight. Promise.

Happy Owner now ?!

No! I decided to postpone delivery untill spring 2023. This summer I shall sail a W17 open trimaran that I had built in Norway during the pandemic. Regarding weight of Libertist 703 it is now 1000 kg, due to a headroom of 1.7 m. My specs as follows:

The color red brings on seasickness

 

[kleppar]

Really.....can a certain colour induce seasickness? Anyway, all my boats are red, and I do not easily get seasick.

Nice pocket cruiser.  I'm sure you will enjoy it for many years once you get it sorted.

I like French boat design.........by the way, any news about resumption of production of Farrier F22? Not much information from the owners....

On the Farrier forum some one did say that he did hear that they were getting started again this year, but that I did hear many times before.

I considered the F22 some three years ago; hull and foil shapes maybe a bit outdated, folding system is excellent, but less suited for mooring, so I went for the Libertist 703.
