The Farr 914 represents a pivotal era in the career of Bruce Farr, a designer who fundamentally altered the trajectory of performance cruising in the late 1970s and early 1980s. While many of his contemporaries were still focused on the "heavy and steady" philosophy, the 914 was conceived as a light-displacement, high-performance yacht that could bridge the gap between a competitive IOR club racer and a functional family cruiser. Measuring approximately 30 feet, the 914 was largely a product of the New Zealand boat-building boom, often constructed by yards such as Glasscraft. It carries the signature Farr hallmarks of a wide beam carried well aft and a relatively flat hull section, which allowed it to plane in conditions where heavier yachts of the same era would remain displacement-locked.
