Design #535 Farr 85

Our intention is to continue the hulls basic color scheme on deck into the cabin and character coaming surfaces although ultimately this choice will be dependant on your precise color selections. The forward cockpit area has been sized for ample seating room and has been recessed into the local deck surface to provide a cushioned seating surface. The cushioned surface continues seamlessly into a centrally located sunbathing area that allows it to function as a natural extension of the family area. A low bridge-deck surface connects the two character coamings behind the central cockpit, provides space for companionway and ventilation hatches, and signals a separation between the lounging and working areas. In this iteration we eliminated the mainsheet traveler in favor of a central mainsheet dead end that keeps the deck very simple and clean. We've moved the primary winches aft into this area so that they can be tailed from either the outboard side-deck or cockpit forward of the wheels. The wheels themselves have been positioned well outboard to provide an uninterrupted view of the bow and headsail. The optional running backstays have been positioned forward and outboard of the helmsman for safety reasons. The lower running backstay blocks and line run have been moved below deck to preserve the clean look of the side-decks. The aft cockpit sides, resulting in a gentle taper, concluding at the running backstay winches, intersect the character coaming.

The yacht will be used in the Mediterranean as well as frequent trips to the Caribbean.
