The Farr VOR 60 (Volvo Ocean 60) represents a pivotal era in offshore racing history, designed specifically for the grueling Whitbread Round the World Race and its successor, the Volvo Ocean Race. Emerging as a more manageable and costeffective alternative to the massive Whitbread Maxis of the late 1980s, the VOR 60 was governed by a strict "box rule" that ensured close, highspeed competition. Bruce Farr and the team at Farr Yacht Design dominated the class, producing multiple winning iterations including EF Language (199798 winner) and Illbruck (200102 winner). Constructed using advanced composite materials like Kevlar, carbon fiber, and epoxy with foam cores, these yachts were engineered to endure the extreme slams of the Southern Ocean while maintaining the light displacement required for highspeed surfing.
