Designed by Farr Yacht Design, Ltd., built by Carrol Marine and DK Yachts,
administered and marketed by Farr International Inc., there is no better
pedigree for a modern offshore one design. These are the people that brought
you the Mumm 30, Mumm 36 and Corel 45 - three of the most successful yachts
of the decade. They are defined by what you, the owners, wanted in your
racing boats. It can be summed up in one sentence..."Fast, user-friendly
sailing in a value-for-money One Design, with strong class support and a
proven winning record in handicap fleets." If that's the kind of sailing
your looking for, come to the team with a track record for proving it.
Fast
When you are talking fast, you have to be talking Farr. The man and his team
have dominated international yacht racing for the last two decades, it's as
simple as that.
User Friendly
Sailing the Farr® 40 is a lesson in how advanced technology can
yield simplicity of function with high performance. From the carbon fibre
runner-less rig, through the clean deck layout and elegant interior, you
will appreciate the care, though and attention to detail that has gone into
this yacht.
Great Value
This boat is better than good value, it's great value and your investment is
protected by the One Design rule which ensures healthy resale values.
One Design
From the beginning the Farr® 40 has had a set of strict One
Design rules in place. Managed by Farr International Inc., they are rules
designed for owners, for fair and even sailing. Your needs and suggestions
are reflected in the rules for example, having an owner driver rule. All
have to be amateur drivers, meet other stringent Class criteria and be
approved by a class review panel. This rule is one example, others are the
limitation on professional crew members to four and predetermining owners
weight so that an owner does not need to weigh in.
Class Association
Any One Design needs a strong class association to promote its interests and
to protect its One Design. The Farr® 40 Class Association ensures
that the class is run according to the consensus of the owners' wishes that
there is a cost effective, fun racing class.
A Modern Grand Prix Type Yacht
The yacht was designed to offer fast, exhilarating, cost controlled, fun
sailing for owners driving yachts. It was designed to be fully compatible
with the IMS rule and highly competitive yet has not exploited current
formulation in directions that encourage better handicap at the expense of
speed. This results in a concept that has lighter displacement, higher
stability and more sail area than is typical in present IMS optimized boats.
These attributes ensure a boat that is safe, fun and one with exceptional
performance relative to its size. A true Grand Prix boat, and one which
should remain competitive in an ever changing rating rule environment.
Despite these concessions for performance over handicap, the yacht's record
under the IMS rule has been most impressive.
