Hull/Deck Construction Details

Construction

All major components of the hull, deck, and structure are optimized carbon/epoxy construction

Hull, deck, and interior structure are fabricated with vacuum infusion technology to ensure high fiber ratio and constant part weight

All major tooling has been created by precision 5 axis milling 

Weight is strictly controlled using SP High Modulus B3 Smart Pac design (the B3 Smart Pac is a three dimensionally designed fiber and core package that is tailor made for the FARR 400. This package ensure that every boat has exactly the same amount of materials to guarantee optimized construction and one- design uniformity)

2011 ISO standards and Category 2 standards

Polyester Gelcoat Above Waterline Finish (Hull: White, Deck: Matterhorn White)

Primed below waterline

The FARR 400 is built in carbon fibre and epoxy foam sandwich making it one of the first carbon production sailboats in the world

All major geometry is created by precision 5 axis milling which is usually only available for Grand Prix and America’s Cup projects. This ensures that the highly optimized geometry of the hull, keel and rudder are carried through the production process and into the final design with consistently accurate tooling

Hull, deck and interior structure are fabricated with vacuum infusion technology to ensure high fibre volume ratios and reduce weight variation

Weight is strictly controlled using an SP/High Modulus Smartpac design

Composite stanchions, pushpit, and pulpit minimize weight

An aerofoil section pushpit reduces windage and creates improved aesthetics

Hull 

The lines of the FARR 400 have been styled for high performance and to project a dynamic and modern image

The full stem and forebody provide dynamic lift when sailing at high speed, reflecting the latest in design supported by CFD research

Powerful stern sections incorporate a partial chine for improved high speed handling and reduced drag

Refined low drag hull form designed to operate comfortably at higher heel angles to maximize efficiency of the deep keel whilst still achieving high performance downwind

Turbo bow modification

Deck

Aggressively designed deck for function and aesthetics

Asymmetric starboard cabin side to allow direct line pit functions minimizing line friction

Aerodynamic and comfortable sheer radius detail

Generous oversized cockpit

Proven winch spacing and general layout based on GP42

Pedestal driven primary winches allows for:

    -Superior winch speed on asymmetric spinnaker gybes

    -Winch driven spinnaker hoists

    -Spinnaker takedown line drive system

    -Primary winch based keel lifting system with minimal purchase
