PREPARATION FOR ONE DESIGN MEASUREMENT

1 General Measurement Procedure - To secure an accurate and fair measurement, it is necessary to have close cooperation between owner and measurer. It is desirable that the owner should be familiar with all parts of the One Design rule.

2 Hull Measuring Procedure - The principal hull measurements shall be taken prior to leaving the Builder's yard with the yacht approximately level athwartships and approximately in the same longitudinal trim which it might reasonably be expected to assume when afloat in measurement trim.

The FARR ® 40 One Design was conceived as a high performance 40 footer that would gather the benefits of modern materials into an economic platform for short course racing that was demanding, exciting and not beyond the capabilities of relatively inexperienced and mature crew members. -- Farr Yacht Design

The class has held International Sailing Federation recognised class status since 1997.

The Rolex Farr 40 World Championships is the pinnacle event of the calendar. Featuring the highest level of competition with the Olympic, America's Cup and Volvo Ocean Race Veterans amongst this strictly Owner/Driver Class.
