The Farr 11S is a high-performance fractional sloop designed by Farr Yacht Design and built by Premier Composite Technologies (DUB) in 2007. With a displacement of 5300.0 lb and a D/L ratio of 66.99, this vessel prioritizes speed and agility, though the exact total hulls built is not specified in the available data.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for performance-oriented coastal cruisers and short-handed racers who prioritize sailing dynamics over heavy offshore comfort, given its low comfort ratio of 9.6.
- Bluewater capability:
- While the low capsize ratio of 2.58 suggests inherent stability, the boat's light displacement of 5300.0 lb and low comfort ratio of 9.6 indicate it is better suited for coastal cruising rather than heavy bluewater passagemaking.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other Farr-designed performance cruisers from the mid-2000s, such as the Farr 30 or similar 36-foot fractional sloops, due to shared design philosophies emphasizing light displacement and high sail area-to-displacement ratios.
