In
three days, 13 Farr 40 entries will converge on Key West Race Week for
another week of exciting "winter racing" in tropical, South Florida
conditions. On Thursday evening, January 21st, the Class will host a
party for all Farr 40 teams participating in KWRW.
Key West Race Week, and the
Miami Grand Prix later in March, will ensure that the Farr 40 crews
prepare, and then peak, in time for the April World Championship at the
Dominican Republic's Casa de Campo. World Champions Jim Richardson (Barking Mad - 2009, 2004, 1998) and Massimo Mezzaroma (Nerone
- 2003) are bound for Key West. Nerone most recently prevailed in
the 2009 European Championship last July in Cagliari, Italy. Event Website

Estate Master wins Rolex Trophy 2009 Regatta
Sydney (AUS) – After three days of racing both inshore and offshore in Sydney Lisa and Martin Hill’s Estate Master have won the 2009 Rolex Trophy. The Rolex Trophy, hosted by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, is an Australian Farr 40 class circuit event each year.
Estate Master led the Farr 40 three day series from Day 1, but as Martin Hill said it wasn’t as easy as it sounds. “We had to fight every inch of the way, especially today”, commented Hill after racing.
