"The new Farr 400 is all predator, a no-holds-barred one design that can ghost through 5-knot holes and still stand tall in 25-knot gusts. As the heir apparent to the Farr 40, this all-carbon lightweight speedster reveals an up-tick in commitment to performance and an upgrade in the commitment to technology.
Bruce Farr calls his latest vision a ââ?¬Å?refined one design,ââ?¬ï¿½ a boat that sheds compromise in order to focus on the job at hand. And the tasks heââ?¬â?¢s referring to include dramatic upwind sailing and quick-to-plane off the wind action. From a design point of view, thereââ?¬â?¢s a threefold amalgam in play: a low-drag hull shape with a lean flattened canoe body thatââ?¬â?¢s more surfboard than sailboat; foils that are tuned to excellent performance on all points of sail; and a rig, sail plan and deck layout that takes lessons learned from the GP 42 and the TP 52 and parlays them into an even more ergonomic design. In short, itââ?¬â?¢s a finely honed racer that behaves like a well tuned musical instrument." - SAIL MAGAZINE 2012
