Farr Designed Boats
The yachts designed by Farr are primarily light-displacement, fractional rig, wide sterned, shallow hulled yachts. Many of his early designs were comparatively skiff-like in appearance, with shallow hulls, wide sterns and light displacement. The result is a quicker, faster hull than more traditional racing yacht designs. Over the years more and more designers have incorporated these ideas. The latest Volvo Open 70 class yachts are examples of this trend.
In addition to one design yachts (table), Farr has designed a various yachts for Volvo Ocean Race (and earlier Whitbread) teams under the Volvo Open 70, Volvo Ocean 60 and Whitbread 60 rule. Furthermore major yacht builders such as Bavaria Yachtbau and Beneteau have commissioned Farr-designed yachts for their Cruiser and First lines respectively. Designs have been also made by Farr under the GP42 and TP 52 (yacht) rule and for racing based on IRC (sailing), International Measurement System rating. Other notable design include (super) Maxi's and America's Cup yachts (for Team BMW Oracle Racing (2007, 2003), Young America (2000) Tag Heuer (1995), New Zealand (1992, 1988, 1987))

“You men have proved that PT boats have some value in this war. Washington wants you back in the States to build them up. Those are my orders.”
