DISCOVERY is confident that Northwest sailors will find all of the same things to love about these exceptional yachts.

Northwest sailing conditions often warrant the idea of a functional pilothouse, and the Farr Series fill the bill with beautiful low-profile pilothouse models in 50, 56, and 60 feet.

No stranger to high calibre racing, Farr Yacht Design boasts six of the eight competitors in the 2002 Volvo Ocean Race (formerly Whitbread Round the World), including the winning team, Illbruck. More about the race is online at: www.volvooceanrace.org.

So when you marry top performance designs with the highest quality in materials and workmanship, the result is yacht that combines everything an experienced sailor looks for.

Uncluttered hand-set teak decks keep things flush, including completely flush and absolutely air tight Rondal custom hatches. Tall triple-spreader rig, high quality deck gear, and spacious, protected cockpit are all hallmarks of the Farr Pilothouse cruisers.

Belowdecks you will find ample natural light, panoramic views and plenty of elbow room in the well-appointed Pilothouse Salon. From storage capacities to the option of comfortably keeping watch, a Pilot Saloon brings sheltered versatility to your cruising life on board!

The galley has been deliberately located down and amidships, primarily to minimize motion at sea. Fit and finishes in every area are fabulous, as expected! A wide variety of layouts and finishes are yours to choose fron when you configure your own custom Farr Pilothouse or Deck Saloon in 50, 56 or 60+ feet

All Farr Pilothouse Yachts are crafted in-house at the new Erixon Yard in Lysekil, a modern climate-controlled facility on Sweden's west coast.
