Overview
About this vessel
This Farr 50 Pilothouse has been seriously maintained and upgraded by the same owners for 22 years. This model, one of 25 that were built, shows extremely well. Very clean, no signs of any abuse, consistent attention to detail is obvious. This model has the three-stateroom layout with three heads. The Yanmar 100Hp Turbo diesel received an extensive 2000 hr. service in 2026. The teak decks were completely replaced by Teak Decking Systems with 5/8" teak in 2019. Hull painted Flag Blue in 2025.
Bruce Farr's design philosophy of combining performance with practicality shines through in this distinctive pilot house variant of his acclaimed 50-footer. This cutter-rigged cruiser represents a thoughtful evolution of the proven Farr 50 platform, offering enhanced comfort and protection without sacrificing the sailing characteristics that made the original design so respected. The pilot house configuration transforms the boat's livability, providing a protected helm station and improved visibility while maintaining the sleek lines characteristic of Farr's work.
With its wing keel and spade rudder arrangement, the boat delivers responsive handling and solid upwind performance, while the moderate displacement keeps it lively in lighter conditions. The substantial ballast ratio contributes to excellent stability and a reassuring feeling in challenging conditions. This design excels as a serious offshore cruiser for couples or small crews who appreciate both comfort and performance.
The protective pilot house makes it particularly appealing for higher-latitude sailing or extended passages where weather protection is paramount. While not a pure racing machine like some Farr designs, it maintains enough performance capability to satisfy sailors who refuse to compromise speed entirely for comfort, (200 nm days are not uncommon) making it an ideal choice for adventurous cruising in demanding conditions.
When the vessel was not winter cruising in the Caribbean, it was always winterized and stored indoors. The bottom was prepped and painted for the 2025 / 2026 season.
