FARR 5000
Following the success of the ‘6000’ Trailer Sailer designed in May 1977, Sea Nymph Boats of Auckland (now McDell Marine) commissioned us to design a very economical boat to suit smaller car requirements for towing. The decision was to continue with the styling and appeal of the ‘6000’ to produce a smaller version with a […]
1 TON
These designs were essentially a development of the successful 1977 World 1 Ton Championship winning Design No. 64, with more emphasis on light weather performance and taking recent Rule changes into account. Design No. 78/3 was conceived at the time of the ITC’s formulation of their so-called Provisional Rule in April 1978 but several major […]
FARR 7500
The commission for this design has come from ‘Sea Nymph Boats’ of Auckland, New Zealand (now McDell Marine), following the successful development of their 6000 and 5000 trailerable yachts (6m and 5m LOA) to our design. The requirement was for a boat to cater for the ‘luxury’ style of trailerable sailing as well as to […]
14′ JAVELIN
Many 14 ft two man dinghy classes have enjoyed strong following throughout the world from Uffa Fox’s International 14’s in England to the relatively unrestricted 14’s from Australia and USA. One class developed in New Zealand in the late 1950’s was the Javelin. This class has tight limitation on rig dimensions, together with beam, bouyancy, […]
1 TON “EXPORT LION”

Design No. 78/3 was conceived at the time of the ITC’s formulation of their so-called Provisional Rule in April 1978 but several major […]
FARR 55
This is a classic yacht designed to give enjoyable sailing in all conditions with the potential of really stretching out to windward and ‘skating’ downwind when the crew or situation demands. These factors have been developed with economy and simplicity in equipment and handling in mind and the requirement of a comfortable but limited internal […]
1/4 TON “ESPADA”
This was the first IOR design we completed when the IOR Rule changed in November 1978 and was aimed specifically at the 1979 World Championships in Italy. Existing light displacement 1/4 Ton yachts are penalized less by the new displacement length factor than larger yachts but even so, our previous style of design would have […]

FARR 35
This design extends the development of pure cruising boats begun with our trailer yacht range and carried on in the 11.6 meter and 16.6 meter fast sloops commissioned in 1978. The initial brief was for a boat to compliment and existing 11.9 meter (39 ft) yacht to sail well, have a spacious and superbly finished […]
IOR 40 “FELTEX ROPE RUNNER”
This design was conceived as an all-out Admiral’s Cup yacht with no concession to any other style of racing or unnecessary creature comforts. The minimum rating of 30.0 feet was decided on not only for minimum capital outlay, ease of handling and a size of boat where optimum performance can be gained very easily in […]
