Farr 11 S Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Farr 11 S means looking at a 36-foot-plus fractional sloop from the board of Farr Yacht Design and constructed by Premier Composite Technologies in Dubai from 2007 onward. These are performance-oriented boats with a 2,400-pound lead bulb keel and a tall fractional rig, and the used fleet reflects that race-derived character rather than a soft cruising brief.
Layouts on the Used Market
The Farr 11 S carries 36.68 feet overall with an 11.25-foot beam and a solid fiberglass hull. The 9.6 comfort ratio and the laminate-heavy sail inventories suggest layouts oriented to a sailing crew rather than extended liveaboard use. Buyers should treat the accommodation as a variable to inspect rather than a fixed class standard.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market, spinnakers and code zeros are commonly fitted, which suits the boat's asymmetric-kite pedigree and fractional rig for reaching performance. A documented 2009 example carried a square-top carbon main and a range of North laminate jibs — a wardrobe that points to regatta history. For a buyer, the meaningful clusters are sail-handling and downwind propulsion: a code zero and spinnaker are the consequential additions, while the base rig's carbon and Kevlar inventory speaks to the boat's original intent more than to comfort upgrades.
What to Inspect
A surveyed 2009 hull built by Premier Composite Technologies in Dubai shows the construction and sail inventory anchor. Buyers should still treat any race-sailed example as subject to rig and laminate wear consistent with its wardrobe.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The typical market for the Farr 11 S is the United States. For a shopper, the takeaway is a short list: confirm the fractional rig and bulb-keel integrity, verify the carbon-Kevlar sail inventory matches the boat's race history, and check that a spinnaker or code zero is part of the package. Accept the 8.86-foot draft as a fixed constraint on where she can go.
