The Farr 1104 represents a watershed moment in naval architecture, marking the point where Bruce Farr’s "light-displacement" philosophy shattered the dominance of heavy-tonnage IOR (International Offshore Rule) designs. Launched in 1975, the 1104—denoting its 11.04-meter length—was primary among the designs that established Farr as a global force. In the Australasian market, the model was most famously produced by Compass Yachts in Australia and New Zealand, bridging the gap between a high-performance racing machine and a capable weekend cruiser. While it was built to fit the IOR 3/4 Ton class, its flatter sections and wider stern allowed it to outrun contemporary "pinched-end" boats, particularly off the wind. This model’s success led to the production of the Compass 36, which utilized the same hull mold but featured a more voluminous deck molding and a heavier, cruising-oriented interior.
