Design #28 - 33'3" Cruising Sloop

displacement boats, which allowed the boat to handle short steep seas with surprising ease. Once again, as in TITUS CANBY, an efficient keel form was chosen with ballast concentrated low down in the keel to provide good stability to windward. The moderate beam and "U" shaped bow sections meant quite low wetter surface area for a boat of these dimensions. This allowed good performance out of a relatively small sail area even in light conditions. A masthead rig was chosen for its absolute simplicity, though the choice was colored to some degree by conservatism in a design of this size, which was the larges keel boat Farr had designed at that time.
