New Farr Class 40 competes in the 2011 Normandy Channel Race

The newly launched  Farr designed Kiwi 40 #2, "MARIE TOÎT - CAEN LA MER"  Skippered by Marc Lepesqueux and co-skippered by Michel Kleinjans have arrived just in time for the start of the 2011 Normandy Channel Race on 22-May. Follow the race on the Regatta Website  Best of luck and safe sailing to Marc and Michel.

The first Farr designed Kiwi 40's Peraspera (below) skippered by Francesco Piva was apparently unable to make the start of the race.

Designed by Farr Yacht Design and developed by BTBoats: The Kiwi 40

The Class 40 is one of the most significant offshore racing yacht rule that has ever been developed. The enormous benefits of a simple and strict box rule that allows for design interpretation but limits build and campaigning costs by insisting on inexpensive build materials, has proved irresistible. In the four years that the rule has existed some 100 plus owners worldwide have purchased a Class 40.

With highly competitive boat-to-boat racing available around the buoys and across oceans on a strong, reliable and affordable performance yachts, the Class 40 formula attracts professionals and amateurs alike with most Class approved races yielding a fleet of at least 25 boats.

Following our Keep it Simple concept throughout the structural design, the geometries, the details and ultimately the construction methodology we have arrived with the Kiwi 40 - a reliable, stiff, safe, well-finished, fast and aesthetically pleasing Class 40.

To achieve this result, the correct vision and approach have been crucial from the outset with Farr Yacht Design and BTBoats fully involved in every aspect since we launched the design brief.

BTBoats have been directly involved in simplifying the build solutions and Farr Yacht Design have enthusiastically provided the appropriate design solutions.

2009  Southern  Cross  IRC 52’ "Vela Veloce"

Farr Yacht Sales has developed a strong and well respected reputation with owners, sail-makers, sailors and other brokerage firms.  We are actively working across the world markets and through association with Farr Yacht Design, have become the first point of contact for grand-prix racing and performance cruising yachts of all types.  Our newest listing is the 2009  Southern  Cross  IRC 52’ "Vela Veloce".

This Reichal/Pugh designed Southern Cross 52 was built by Davie Norris Boatbuilders - NZL as a semi-custom IRC racer. The Southern Cross 52 is similar in design concept to the Transpac 52 but incorporates interior conveniences such as a proper galley, enclosed head, comfortable berths, and a wood cabin sole presenting a more finished interior. The Southern Cross 52’s additional freeboard and deck house provide substantially more interior volume and comfort when compared to the TP52. The deck layout is designed for racing and versatility, especially offshore and features a large open cockpit with linked pedestal grinders for the primary and mainsheet winches.

Vela Veloce is a sturdy build of carbon fiber sandwich composite and was specifically constructed to endure the rigors of offshore racing. A sister ship to highly successful Vincetore, Vella Veloce has been extensively campaigned throughout North America competing against several TP52’s and IRC 50’s with equally great success inshore as well as offshore. Constantly updated, Vela Veloce is in perfect condition and represents an ideal and well developed ‘turn-key’ racing program.

Since being delivered Vela Veloce has competed at the highest level with a professional crew that includes several Volvo, America’s Cup and Olympic sailors and marine industry professionals. Over the past 2 years the boat, and its inventory and equipment have been precisely developed and refined, resulting in one of the finest IRC 52’ boats currently racing. Polar and target speeds, rig tuning, sail ranges and overlaps and trim positions and settings have been expertly documented.
Every aspect of Vela Veloce has been examined for ways to improve speed, performance and rating. Vela Veloce is now being offered for sale and represents a turn-key racing yacht of unequalled value.
