About the FARR 25
Down wind sail area: 87.5 m2/940 sq.ft.
The Farr 25 is a high-performance fractional sloop designed by Farr Yacht Design and built by One Design Yachting in Turkey, with production starting in 2010. While the exact build count is not specified in the authoritative data, the vessel is characterized by its lightweight displacement of 2050.0 lb and a high sail area-to-displacement ratio of 32.6, indicating a focus on speed over heavy cruising comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for performance-oriented coastal cruisers and racers who prioritize acceleration and upwind ability over heavy-weather stability or long-term offshore provisioning. Its low comfort ratio of 8.31 suggests it is ideal for short trips and day sailing rather than extended bluewater passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.55 and a relatively low displacement of 2050.0 lb, the Farr 25 is not ideally suited for serious bluewater cruising without significant modifications to its deck core and structural integrity. Its design prioritizes performance, making it more appropriate for protected coastal waters where its lightweight hull can be managed safely.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other lightweight, high-performance 25-foot fractional sloops from the same era, such as the Beneteau First 25 or the J/24, which share similar emphasis on racing pedigree and fractional rigging. These vessels are comparable due to their similar displacement ranges and focus on competitive sailing rather than traditional cruising amenities.
