FARR 40 OD – 082

Specifications

Broker’s Comments

The Farr 40 is a One Design yacht designed by Bruce Farr and built by Carrol Marine. The idea with the yacht type was to offer a fast, easy to handle and affordable yacht in the offshore class. There are strict rules for this One Design class, but you usually have to sail regattas against others in different handicap systems – such as ORCi and SRS. To be a single-hull yacht, she offers incredible speed resources, and you are guaranteed to be one of the first competitors across the finish line. Even if the handicap systems change, this Grand Prix boat will always be high up on the results list.

Mast, spreaders, and spinnaker boom have been made of carbon fiber, all to get maximum performance. The deck layout is simple and functional with most trim lines and sheets under the deck. The yacht requires its crew to be able to perform at top level and for longer offshore sailing; there are sea berths, a toilet, a navigation table and a simple galley.

The yacht was originally called BIT OF A CUP and had great success in the UK. The current third owner has taken good care of her and upgraded the equipment on-board. Ahead of the 2017 season, the mainsail was upgraded to a “Square Top Main”, with associated dual backstay, something that has given her extra power and speed.

Whether you have plans to participate in the ORC European Championships in Norway this summer or want to experience exciting and fast sailing, this is the boat for you and your crew.
