Farr 36

Design No. 84 from Farr Yacht Design. These 36ft performance/cruising yachts are an absolute pleasure to sail. This lovely Farr 36 has been with the current owners for 15 years and is now based in Townsville. They sailed her from Fremantle, up to the Abrolhos Islands, across the Bight to Tasmania, up the East Coast to the Flinders Group and Ribbon Reefs and locally.

It is a great indication of the standard of workmanship at Hitech Yachts, and the quality of the design of the Farr 36, that the Royal Perth Yacht Club chose this yacht when it was building a fleet of 10 new yachts for the World Match Racing Championships. The 10 boats built for the RPYC were completely stripped out, without even an engine, but the hull and rig is exactly the same as the production cruiser/racer put out by Hitech Yacht since. The only change that has been made since that batch of boats is the addition of a longer keel with a bulb on the end. This is a quality yacht that suits the market it is aimed at perfectly. The standard of workmanship throughout is high, the quality of materials, fittings and accessories used is excellent.

The Farr 36's sailing performance is everything one could ask of a boat of this size and variety. It deserves a considerable share of the market for this sort of boat. It is an Australian product that can stand up against similar boats elsewhere in the world.
