Design #52 - 12' (3.7m) Double Handed, Double Trapeze Racing Dinghy

Bowler was campaigning a boat of his own design during the same period and together as skippers they dominated the class Bowler taking the Selasic Trophy in 1969, and Farr in 1970.

For the next three seasons Farr refined the hull design and timber construction detailing, producing a robust, fast, manageable 12 foot dinghy that reward an enterprising crew with great bursts of downwind speed coupled with steady, balanced on the wind performance. Both skipper and crew are on trapeze. Farr has delicately balanced massive sail areas on a hull that is light yet quite capable of carrying the powerhouse rig through seas without unkind reactions.
