The Farr 40 strode into the yacht-racing arena in 1997, an active period in the search for the ultimate grand-prix type yacht. Its timeless, modern design has risen above the norm, outlived expectation, and significantly outlasted its competition. The Rolex Farr 40 World Championship is the pinnacle of the Class’ worldwide racing season.
