The Cookson 12, often recognized in international racing circles as the Farr 39 ML (Design 336), represents a highwater mark for the dualpurpose racercruiser category of the mid1990s and early 2000s. Conceived by Farr Yacht Design and brought to life by the master composite builders at Cookson Boats in New Zealand, the vessel was engineered to be a "slippery" performer that could transition from grand prix IRC racing to comfortable coastal cruising. The "ML" designation stands for Masthead Light, signifying a tall masthead rig designed to provide ample power in light to medium airs while maintaining a manageable displacement for downwind planing. Though production was limited to approximately 20 to 30 units, the model achieved an outsized reputation for its build quality and its ability to outpace significantly larger yachts in offshore classics like the SydneyHobart and Fastnet races.
