The Farr 56 Pilot House is a high-performance cruising yacht designed by Bruce Farr and built by BSI Marine Sweden A.B. in 2000. With a displacement of 45194.76 lb and a comfort ratio of 31.59, it combines racing pedigree with substantial cruising amenities.
- Best for:

- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.87 and a displacement of 45194.76 lb, the boat demonstrates strong offshore stability and seakeeping ability, supported by its fin keel and robust construction.
