The Farr® 40 One Design Designed by Farr Yacht Design, Ltd., built by Carroll Marine, 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 36, and then the Mumm 30 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...

If that's the kind of sailing you're looking for, come to the team with a track record for providing it. Following on from the success of the Mumm 36, then the Mumm 30 and Corel 45, is the Farr 40

A Modern Grand Prix-Type Yacht
The yacht was designed to offer fast, exhilarating, cost controlled, fun sailing for owners driving their 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 optimised boats. These attributes ensure a boat that is safe, fun and one with exceptional performance relative to it's size. A true Grand Prix boat, and one which should remain competitive in an every changing rating rule environment. Despite these concessions for performance over handicap, the yacht's record under the IMS rule has been most impressive. Hull No 1 owned by Dr Steve Garland was named the top IMS yacht at Block Island Race Week for 1997 for winning its very competitive IMS class and Hull No 2 owned by Ken Bruneflod was second overall IMS in the 1997 Round Gotland Race. The simple rig and efficient interior also make the boat competitive under the popular CHS rule. Sailing World named the Farr 40 overall "1998 Boat of the year" Judge Betsy Alison said "The boat is awesome to sail".

Fast, user-friendly sailing in a value-for-money one-design with strong class support and proven winning performance in handicap fleets. Easy enough to say, much harder to do. Many elements need to come together to make the formula work, to make the concept real. You need the design skill and knowledge to make the boat both fast and easy to sail. The manufacturing skills to construct it to high levels of quality and consistency - and to do that at the right price. Then you need the management team with the energy and commitment to make it all work. With the Farr 40 the proof of all this is right there in front of you.
