The incredible success and popularity of the Mumm 30 and Corel 45 have led to a need for an in between sized boat and hence the Farr® 40 One Design was conceived. Using the same tried and tested configuration of simple carbon fiber swept spreader rig, no running backstays, non overlapping jibs and high stability keel, the Farr® 40 One Design provides those seeking the excitement and performance exhibited by the Mumm 30 and Corel 45 in a mid sized boat. Also compatible with the IMS Rule, the Farr® 40 One Design has proven to be a highly versatile boat that can be competitively raced under the IMS, CHS and PHRF handicapping systems. The pure simplicity and high performance characteristics are making this a very popular boat.
