Farr 9.2 Boat Design Details

The Farr 9.2 is a very capable sea boat, it is dry in almost all conditions. Its easily handled rig, features a large roached main that drives the boat fast in shorthanded cruising situations, and is easily reefed in heavy weather. She handles heavy seas with ease, and can regularly reach speeds in a sea breeze in excess of 12 knots; passage-making is a pleasure. The boats have regularly cruised to Quindalup, Dunsborough & the Abrolhos Islands, and members often successfully compete in offshore races such as the Bunbury return.

The Farr 9.2 Association has recently purchased the Farr 9.2 boat moulds and is keen to encourage anyone interested in building a new boat. Please contact us for any information you require. All members of the association are very pleased to show off their boats, and the sailing capabilities of the Farr 9.2's. Most members would be happy to have an excuse to take their boat out!
