The Farr 400 represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of grand prix racing, marking a definitive shift from the displacementoriented design of the legendary Farr 40 to a modern, highperformance planing hull. Developed by Farr Yacht Design and engineered for carbonfiber precision by Premier Composite Technologies (PCT), the vessel was conceived as a "nocompromise" onedesign racer that could also compete effectively under IRC and ORC rating systems. Unlike its predecessor, which relied on symmetric spinnakers and heavy ballast, the Farr 400 utilizes a highmodulus carbon rig, a deep Tkeel, and a massive asymmetric spinnaker flown from a retractable carbon bowsprit. The result is a boat that prioritizes raw speed and early planing, often described as a skifflike experience in a 40foot package.
