What Bruce Farr's boats do well

Bruce Farr has 65 designs in this archive, drawn between 1973 and 2024 for 29 different yards, from 7 metres to 20: a pencil that has worked at both ends of the sport.

The longest of those relationships is with Beneteau: 15 designs between 1990 and 2009, 19 years of the same two names on the same transom.

The Farr 400 of 2011 is the most efficient design here, with a Race Edge of 98 — it is in the middle and the heavy that it makes the difference, turning the old pattern over.

Still drawing: the most recent design here is from 2024.
