Farr 60 Pilot House Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Farr 60 Pilot House means looking at a Bruce Farr-designed, 1995-production-start 60-footer with a pilothouse cruiser layout derived from his Whitbread 60 race boats. The used fleet splits between charter four-cabin layouts and other configurations, with ex-charter examples common, so a buyer should calibrate expectations around interior wear and systems history rather than assume a lightly used private boat.
Layouts on the Used Market
Charter four-cabin layouts are more common on the used market, but both pilothouse and wedge-trunk versions appear, and ex-charter hulls are a frequent sight. The pilothouse interior itself places a palatial stateroom aft, a second stateroom adjacent to the mast to starboard, and a port-side stateroom with upper and lower berths, with both main staterooms enjoying adjoining heads and a guest head aft to starboard. The wedge version is sleeker but has no opening ports and minimal visibility all around, while the pilothouse still has no opening ports despite the enclosed helm.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Well-equipped used examples commonly carry an inverter, freezer, radar, chartplotter, life raft, watermaker, spinnaker, furling main, electric winches, bimini, dodger, dinghy davits, teak decks, AIS, autopilot, and Starlink. For a buyer, the meaningful clusters are power and energy — inverter and often solar or a washing machine — and passage autonomy, where a watermaker and life raft matter more than a gennaker or bow thruster. Often-seen upgrades include air conditioning, solar, gennaker, bow thruster, washing machine, EPIRB, and a short-handed sailing setup; these are worth verifying in person since they are not on every boat.
What to Inspect
The cockpit on either deck version was judged too small for the hull, so check how the deck layout uses the limited space — worn winch bases, compressed trims, and jury-rigged seating all betray hard charter use in a tight area. Both the wedge and pilothouse configurations were built with no opening ports, so confirm that ventilation depends wholly on deck hatches and that no owner has cut unauthorized openings that could weaken the trunk. Inspect the hull's slight bulging at station 7 on the underwater profile; this fullness near the engine is by design, but verify the laminate there for any stress or repair around the machinery space.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats typically appear in the United States and Malaysia.
- Confirm whether the hull is ex-charter and review its systems log
- Check the cockpit for wear from confined-deck use
- Verify no unauthorized portlights cut into the trunk
- Inspect station 7 hull fullness around the engine
- Test the watermaker, autopilot, and electric winches if fitted
