The Farr 45, initially launched in 1996 as the Corel 45, represents a pivotal era in highperformance onedesign racing. Designed by the renowned Bruce Farr and his team at Farr Yacht Design, the model was engineered to bridge the gap between the ultralight grand prix yachts and the more cumbersome cruiserracers of the International Measurement System (IMS) era. Built primarily by Carroll Marine in the United States, the Farr 45 was marketed as an "economical" entry into toptier racing, utilizing advanced composite materials while maintaining a strictly controlled onedesign rule. Approximately 20 hulls were produced, establishing a legacy of speed and tactical complexity that continues to see the boats active in IRC and ORC fleets today.
