The Farr 65

One of Ondeck's fleet of 4 Farr 65 Ocean Racing Yachts

 

Ondeck Sailing's Farr 65s are impressive, high performance race yachts, unique in that they were designed by Farr Yacht Design * to be de-tuned versions of the world famous Whitbread 60. These superb modern ocean racing yachts were designed and built at a cost of US$1 million each. The design brief was to produce a high performance racing yacht in which amateurs could safely sail around the world. Although they have the performance of a Grand Prix yacht, they are extremely user friendly for even the most novice of crews.

 

The Farr 65 is a beautiful yacht, large with elegant lines and a broad open cockpit. The yachts are ideal vessels to run bespoke hospitality, team development and racing programs. Depending on the programme the yachts can take up to 16 guests. Designed for high performance sailing, they offer easy and safe handling for the amateur but are racy enough to satisfy keen sailors. There is ample space for entertaining, whilst at the same time experiencing at the excitement and 'hands-on' thrill of crewing an ocean racer.

 

Only five of these yachts were ever built and Ondeck Sailing are the proud owners of four (Juno, Isis, Diana and Minerva). We charter these magnificent yachts for racing and sailing events in the Solent, around the UK and in the Caribbean as well as for our Atlantic Adventure and Atlantic Challenge Transatlantic Sailing events.

 

All are chartered with a professional skipper and mate. We provide additional crew or hostess depending on the event.
