The Farr 5000 stands as a landmark in the history of New Zealand trailer yachting, representing a successful collaboration between the prolific Farr Yacht Design and the storied builder Sea Nymph. Launched during the peak of the trailer-boating boom in the 1970s and 80s, this 5-meter (approximately 16.4-foot) vessel was conceived as an accessible, entry-level cruiser that did not sacrifice the performance DNA associated with Bruce Farr’s racing heritage. Designated as Design No. 58 by the Farr office, it was engineered to bridge the gap between a high-performance dinghy and a coastal cruiser, offering a stable platform for families while remaining light enough to be towed by a standard family car.
