Farr Yacht Design
  

 

To supplement in-house experience and knowledge, the design group benefits from on-going research and development carried out at leading wind tunnel and tank testing facilities. Top industry consultants, specialists in their fields, are also retained regularly to assist in delving deeper into specific areas.

Farr Yacht Design is commissioned by all types of sailors to design yachts meeting criteria from winning grand prix events to cruising the sea comfortably and efficiently.  They have designed several hundreds of different yachts, from a 15 foot dinghy to a 132 foot America's Cup challenger yacht. 

Production builders, such as Beneteau, also commission Farr Yacht Design to design various projects.  Relationships with top production boat builders around the world provide yachtsmen with boats designed by Farr for a fraction of the cost of a custom design. Some of these builders are Bavaria, Beneteau, Finngulf, Erixon Yachts, dK Yachts in Malaysia and Austral Yachts in Australia.
