F-32 Beam Mounts
The F-32 Beam Mounts are a new and simpler way of installing the Farrier Folding System in a 'one off' or home built boat. They are based on the 3rd generation folding system as developed for the F-33, but in a modular form for home builders. These pre-made precision moldings take much of the work and alignment out of building a Farrier folding trimaran, and only require taping in place after being positioned in center hull by a simple jig. They are currently available in two formats, finished and ready to fit, and as a lower cost kit for assembly by the builder.
Beam mounts are used to easily locate and align beams and folding system with hull
