"all carbon" F-22R laminating
completed. The floats are 19kgs lighter than floats made with Eglass
and the main hull is 95kgs lighter than the main hulls made with Eglass.
That's a total saving of114kgs! At this rate of reduced weight, we
expect to save over 200kgs of weight on an "all carbon"
F-32RX.

**** WARNING
THESE ARE BIG FILES FILES! ****
Most boats
now leaving our factory without being fitted out.
Owners are electing to give us the epoxy
laminating, fairing and painting work then we ship the boat to her
new home where the proud owners can add their personal finishing touches.
This means the slow messy part of the work is done by us and the interesting
operational and lifestyle work is done by the owner. We are doing
great deals on kit boats.
We are
getting enquiries for the narrow F-32A/R.
Fancy
an "all carbon" America's Cup style of trimaran?
For quotations,
write to melvestmarine@gmail.com to express
your interest.
Our all carbon F-22
floats are 16kg each lighter!

MELVEST MARINE INTRODUCES NEW F-22A "RESORT
CRUISER"
Download the PDF brochure here: F-22A
"Resort Cruiser" Brochure
A stripped down F-22A will be offered as an entry level
trimaran. The emphasis being on maximising the fun and minimising
the startup costs. We want to get more people started in trimaran
sailing so they can experience the excitement of fast, comfortable
sailing. Melvest Marine has been working with Farrier Marine to simplify
production methods and make the Resort Cruiser affordable.
First versions will use existing forms to bend PVC foam
but new moulded parts will be introduced progressively until the whole
boat is made from gelcoated moulded parts. "Resort Cruisers"
will be offered without float and foredeck hatches, pulpit, bow nets,
poptop and windows. A lightweight "A" length aluminium mast
will be included with a boomless main and jib only. Parts will be
ordered in bulk from Farrier Marine to reduce shipping costs. Later
the boat can be upgraded if desired. Extra parts can be just bolted
on.
PROJECTED PRICE
FOR RESORT CRUISER F-22A UNDER US$40,000*
*ex-Manila factory
Production of the standard cabin F-22R version made
using vacuum bagging and epoxy will continue.
