The F-85SR is a development from the F-82, with changed hull shapes, a bit more sail area and a more efficient dagger board and rudder. A smaller cabin is standard. I will go for the longer cabin which is slightly smaller than the original F-82 cabin. My F-85SR has sailnr. 2

Length: 8.50 m
Beam: 6.00 m, 2.50 m when folded
Mast length: 12.30 m
draft: 0.30 - 1.85 m
Sail area 42 mē
Weight +/- 1100 kg

New to the F-85SR is the use of the curved lifting foils. These were originally designed for the F-32SR, but are also usable on other designs.  The major advantage is that they work as a hydrofoil for the lee hull.

As the beams can be folded, the boat doesn't need a lot of room and a normal 10 meter berth can be used. Also it can legally be transported on a trailer behind a normal car. This is a video which shows how the floats are folded.

Interior design is free and cabin length varied, as long as the main bulkheads are kept in tact. There are plenty possibilities. The final choice is not due until the later building stages. I want to finalize the design before I start building the main hull so that I can build in the parts when access is still easy.:
