foam sandwich. The Farr 40 was designed by Irvine Laidlaw of Singapore to build
a new design 1 tonner for the 1985 Singapore Admirals Cup team and later for
competition in the Southern Cross Cup in Australia. War Games has a history
of completing several Sydney to Hobart races and is offered for sale by her
present owners. She is very spacious and tidy below. Whether racing offshore,
around the cans on the lake or you just want take the family out for the weekend,
this boat ticks the boxes. It is spacious below and the boat could be fitted
out or adjusted to suit any needs. The rig is very much the usual fractional
although the fore triangle is a little taller at the expense of some mainsail
area to trade off some of this style of boat's fantastic upwind performance
to boost running and broad reaching speed in light winds. Construction is highly
developed Kevlar sandwiching utilising a PVC vacuum bagged core. This type of
construction provides for a very stiff boat and clean roomy interior. Creating
a successful one design class is extremely challenging. It requires a unique
mixture of design foresight with highly detailed and consistent construction
techniques with strong fleet support. Bruce Farr provided the foresight with
high powered design boats targeted for talented amateur skippers. 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.
