Farr 40 One-Design

Farr 40 One-Design is a 40 ′ 8 ″ / 12.4 m monohull sailboat designed by Bruce Farr and built by dk Yachts, Carroll Marine, and Waterline Systems, LLC starting in 1997.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Farr 40 One Design

A slick solution for top-notch, fair competing.

Creating a successful one-design class is extremely challenging. It requires a unique mixture of design foresight with highly detailed and consistent construction techniques and strong fleet support. Bruce Farr, whose designs continue to dominate offshore racing, provides the foresight with another high-powered design targeted for talented amateur drivers. Like the Mumm 30 class, the Farr 40 must be skippered by Group 1 (nonprofessional) sailors and there are restrictions on the number of pros allowed in the crew. Free of running backstays, overlapping headsails and expensive crews, the Farr 40 offers sailboat owners exhilarating performance and the opportunity to compete in international regattas in an easy-to-handle and relatively affordable package. In some ways, the Farr 40, with its wide, flat deck and high-stability deep keel, is an easier boat to sail than a typical PHRF racer-cruiser.

Creating a success Carroll Marine is responsible for the consistent, high-tech construction that successful one-designs demand. The hull is constructed with E-glass fibers, epoxy with foam composites and wet prepreg fabrics. The entire hull and deck are post-cured, meaning they are literally baked in an oven. The result is an incredibly strong, light hull. The iron keel, which weighs 5,079 pounds for a 47-percent ballast-to-displacement ratio, has a large bulb on the bottom and a loaded draft of 8 feet, 6 inches. The rudder stock is carbon fiber, a material that IÕm not convinced is the best for the purpose, and the rudder blade is a combination of epoxy, carbon fiber and E-glass. Although the Farr 40 has a simple, workmanlike design philosophy, the overall level of finish is superb.

A management group consisting of representatives of Farr International, Bruce Farr and Associates and Carroll Marine Ltd. is responsible for establishing and maintaining the strict class rules. The objectives of the class are to keep the boats as nearly identical as possible, while maintaining enough flexibility to race competitively under other international handicap rules, particularly the IMS. The highly detailed rules specify everything about the boats, from headliner scantlings to how many spare flashlight batteries can be carried. In the future, the Farr 40 Owners Association will be a partner in all class decisions.

Today's formula for fast We test-sailed hull No. 8 on a lovely autumn afternoon on Chesapeake Bay. As our photo boat made radio contact, I took a moment to take a good look at the Farr 40 gliding along off the wind. In keeping with todayÕs formula for what makes boats go fast, the bow is virtually plumb; in fact, from some angles, it appeared that Farr used a ruler to draw the bow shape. Indeed, straight is the operative word. From the sheerline, to the reverse transom, to the wedge-shaped deckhouse, the 40 consists of straight lines and right angles.

I joined the crew in the cockpit and immediately found myself behind the helm bringing the boat hard on the wind. Although the breeze was a light 7 to 8 knots, we quickly accelerated and attained a boat speed of 7 knots. The large, open cockpit is perfect for efficient sail handling but I wondered what it would be like in wild, offshore conditions. Although the huge, scooped-out wheel (which is optional) is well aft, all the sail controls are amidships. It is vital to keep the weight out of the ends and Farr has effectively centered the crew weight-virtually every line is led to this control point. The European-style mainsheet is aft and led below deck, and the traveler has internal tackle. The standard winches are Harkens, with 48.3As (three-speed) for the primaries and 44.2 STAs for the mainsheet and halyards.

The mast-with double, swept-back spreaders-is carbon fiber, built by Sparcraft. Although fractionally rigged with discontinuous rod, masthead spinnakers are an optional part of the sail plan. The mast is stepped on the keel, running through the deck in an integrally molded collar, and a hydraulic mast jack is standard. Harken spinnaker gear is standard with a carbon fiber pole. The Sparcraft boom is aluminum. A Tuff Luff headstay system is also part of the standard package. When competing in class, the sail inventory will likely consist of one main, three jibs, three fractional spinnakers, a heavy-weather jib and one storm trysail. The loose-footed main has a top full batten and so do the jibs, which also carry short leach battens.

I found myself mesmerized by the easy motion and effortless acceleration as we tacked and headed across the bay. The steering was precise and, until I found the groove, I tended to oversteer. By the time we tossed up the symmetrical, fractional chute, however, I had the boat moving well and was reacting to each lift. On a moderate reach in less than 10 knots true, we touched 8 knots several times. It was truly exciting to sail a boat that seemed to want to lift right out of the water. It was deceptively easy. Just when I started feeling like a hot shot, Geoff Stagg, president of Farr International, told me that he had flirted with 20 knots while screaming before the wind in a recent race. For someone who has spent the better part of his life satisfied with 6 knots, I could only imagine what that felt like.

Just the basics Reluctantly, I gave up the wheel and made a survey of the boat. Moving about the deck, I wondered if the weight of an extra handhold would slow the boat down. The nonskid surface, however, is aggressive and the wide-open deck plan does make going forward quick and easy. Dropping below, it doesn't take long to get the feel of the interior-there isn't much of one.

Forward is sail stowage and the head. A tiny galley is on the bulkhead to port with a two-burner stove and a small sink. An icebox is opposite and there are two water tanks with 21 gallons each. Continuing aft, there are nice, long crew berths to port and starboard and several useful storage bins as well. The nav station is aft amidships, directly underneath the cockpit. Although the chart table is good-sized, it would definitely help to have a very short navigator; there is not even sitting headroom.

The 27-horsepower Yanmar diesel is just forward of the nav station, almost directly centered in the boat. The Yanmar is actually facing aft. If this was a standard engine, it would need a V-drive transmission. But with a saildrive unit it doesnÕt matter which way the engine faces. There is terrific access to all sides of the engine. The fuel tank carries 20 gallons. When we finally did power up, there was some vibration-the lower unit seemed a little out of alignment.

The roster of owners of the new Farr 40 One Design demonstrates the widespread popularity of the boat. Owners are from Sweden, Japan, Brazil and both coasts of the United States. Although $235,000 may seem like a lot of money for a 40-foot boat, to sailors used to spending the megabucks required for big-time international racing, the simplicity and affordability of top-level one-design racing is very alluring indeed. In fact, one devoted Farr 40 owner from Sweden bought two boats, one to compete in Europe and one to race on this side of the Atlantic. He still contends that he is money ahead.

The Farr 40 is a 40-foot one-design sailing vessel designed by Farr Yacht design in 1996 following after the Mumm 30. This Farr 40 was built by Mc Conaghy in 2000 and formed as a high performance 40 footer.

The interior layout is clean and simple while still providing the basic elements for long distance work. A full private head forward, saloon with galley and centrally located navigation station aft make the boat ocean racing ready. The cabin is sized to give the boat a spacious feeling for those who would choose to do limited cruising and to provide a reasonable area for after race gatherings.

Construction is elaborate in foam core with glass-reinforced skins. Rudder has a carbon stock and shell. Internal mouldings combine with bulkheads and composite frames to provide a sturdy and serviceable interior.

As the regatta date approaches we will connect you with the Boat Captain via Whatsapp chat and provide useful information on both the event and on the location. We are available at any time via phone or email to answer any other questions or queries you may have.

What is the security deposit for?

The security deposit is to cover damage to the yacht, that is more than just general wear and tear that would be expected when racing. In the worst case scenario it will cover the excess should there be the need for a claim on the yacht’s insurance. However, it is also there to cover less serious damage that does not warrant an insurance claim like damages to sails. If there is no damage then we will refund the security deposit in the week following the charter. If there are any damages the value of these damages will be assessed and the balance of the security deposit refunded after these costs have been deducted.

AMERICA'S CUP

Around the world we are seeing a resurgence of interest in high performance race boats at the 40’ size.  Originating in the UK, the Fast 40+ class has gone from strength to strength providing exceptionally close racing for well matched, high performance 40 footers.  The dynamic performance of the Fast 40’s and their more accessible construction and operating costs have peaked the interest of sailors around the world.  We are seeing a significant amount of interest in boats of this style from Australia, New Zealand, USA, and European owners with particular interest in boats that are not solely targeted at inshore style racing.  Responding to this interest we have developed a brand new design that reflects the recent evolutions of the IRC and Fast 40+ rules, but is specifically optimised to a larger component of offshore sailing conditions; positioned to excel in both inshore regattas and in the offshore races.

Guiding principles of our FAST 40+ design 841 include:

• Design parameters optimised to the 2018 FAST 40+ class rule and targeted to perform both inshore and offshore in dynamic conditions

• An aggressive approach to maximize the benefit of moving crew weight both longitudinally and transversely

• Refined, high stability/low drag hull shape integrated with advanced deck and structural design

• Modern, open cockpit deck geometry designed to maximize efficient handling with minimized weight, windage and pitch gyradius

• Maximum-performance high efficiency appendages for impressive downwind offshore performance and high lift in demanding conditions or racing in tight fleets

• Easily re-modeable to optimise for inshore or offshore focused schedules

• Light, reliable and efficient structural design integrated with deck and rig features

This design is developed to excel in coastal and offshore races where dynamic reaching performance is paramount while still providing excellent inshore performance in tight windward leeward regattas.  Design 841 is a product of the latest in design technology and leverages 40 years of design experience.  It features a fresh look at every element of the boat, leaving no stone unturned. It combines cutting-edge research with countless innovations and refinements that will define the next generation of FAST 40+.

We are in advanced discussions with Van Munster boats in Australia in preparation for a construction start that would see the first boat available for the Australian Summer. A full design presentation, proposed specification and pricing is available upon request.
