FRAM XVI a fourth generation Farr® Transpac 52, built by Cookson Boats of New Zealand, was developed to compete in both the European and US Transpac 52 competitions. Design #590 was developed to meet the demands of a specific selection of Mediterranean venues. This design is the direct result of first hand experience gained while sailing and competing in Transpac 52 class for the 3 years and based on previous FYD designs #585 (Bribon, Caxia Galicia and Rush) & 586 (Pegasus & Atalanti).
