Farr 395 Presentation

Style and performance have joined forces in a brand-new yacht brought to you by the powerful team of Farr ® Yacht Design, Ltd., Farr ® International Inc. and Carroll Marine, Ltd.

The Farr 395 One Design was created for the club sailor who has an eye on speed, ease of handling, and the fun of competitive and comfortable club racing in a dual purpose yacht. It's quick under sail, yet beautifully appointed and constructed.

This yacht is a result of the synergy of Farr Yacht Design's genius, Carroll Marine's advanced construction technology, and Farr International's marketing and one design class administration. Together, this unique collection of talent has produced some of the most successful grand prix one designs in the world. The Mumm 30, Mumm 36, Corel 45 and Farr 40 set the standards for modern international one design classes. This group also developed the new Concordia 47, renowned for it's speed and beauty, and described as "ahead of its time...and ahead of the fleet" in a recent Sailing Magazine review. These traits are incorporated into the newly designed Farr 395 OD. The concept, design and new tooling reflect the experience gained in grand prix race boats and world class cruising boats. The Farr 395 OD will appeal to avid sailors who need a true dual purpose racer cruiser that is very comfortable and easy to cruise shorthanded, or fun and exhilarating to race at a competitive level.

Farr Yacht Design has designed a new boat that is:

  • Quick under sail, particularly in light choppy conditions
  • Easy to doublehand with its non-overlapping jibs, runnerless carbon rig and sprit
  • Capable of carrying the weight associated with cruising accommodations and gear
  • Capable of serious open ocean cruising and racing

Carroll Marine has produced a boat that is:

  • Meticulously built with advanced composite materials and technology
  • Consistently built to exacting weight standards
  • Beautifully equipped on deck and below
  • Easy and economical to maintain
  • Excellent value for money

Farr International will manage the class to:

  • Insure true Corinthian amateur owner driving
  • Control costs of ownership and one design participation
  • Maintain resale value of existing boats
  • Maintain one design integrity
  • Insure Owner fun & satisfaction is the number one class priority

Argo Boats is the new builder chosen by Farr International to produce the Farr 395. With the help and expertise of Berry Carroll, Argo Boats will build the boats with the same quality and performance as the one reached with the first boats.

We are excited about this boat and one design class; we hope that you will be too!
