Design #121 Farr 1020

boarding platform and transom gate specifically designed with thecruising yachtsmen in mind to offer easy access on and off the boat.

The FARR 1020 is built strictly to one design and tight class rules will ensure close class racing with the possibility for inter dominion competition.

The emphasis on speed, the complete disregard for rating and the one design aspect will have wide appeal, guard against obsolescence and guarantee an excellent investment.

The hull is light displacement (3709 Kg) with a moderate beam of 3.194 metres and incorporates powerful stern sections with a fine bow. The powerful hull coupled with a good percentage of ballast (1406 Kg) set low in the high aspect ratio keel and fin bow sections will be very stiff and ensure excellent windward performance especially in rough water.

The rig is a development of the non masthead swept spreader arrangement used successfully on previous boats. The fractional rig gives the potential for rig control that will allow the boat to sail to its full potential with a minimum of sails. The mainsail features a loose foot which simplifies the complications of shelf foots and clew cunninghams without any loss of speed. The sail can be readily made fuller or flatter without needing to adjust mainsheet tension. The high aspect short footed headsail is a great cruising advantage as the boat can be easily tacked with only a metre of so of sheet to pull in on each tack. Although the sail inventory is kept to a minimum the efficiency of each sail will give the boat superb performance and make it very competitive with boats of similar size carrying far larger wardrobes.

The wide stern, light displacement and high sail area to displacement ratio will guarantee a fast exhilarating ride downhill and reaching with easy control.

Construction is GRP using the latest materials and techniques in the temperature controlled factory of Sea Nymph.
