The Farr 85 represents a pinnacle of highperformance naval architecture, bridging the gap between flatout Maxi racers and ultraluxury blue water cruisers. Designed by the worldrenowned Farr Yacht Design, this 85foot platform was developed across several distinct design iterations, most notably Design 114 and Design 472. While some iterations were conceived as strippedout racers for the IOR Maxi circuit, others, such as the wellknown Rose of Jericho, were engineered as "Performance Cruisers" capable of globetrotting at speeds that few vessels of their size can match. These yachts typically feature a composite hull—often utilizing Sglass, Kevlar, or carbon fiber—to ensure the stiffness required for massive rig loads while maintaining a displacementtolength ratio that favors surfing in following seas.
