Construction : Light and simple are the two words used to describe the structure of the Farr
25. All structural elements are stitched/knitted E-glass in an epoxy resin, vacuum-bagged to
achieve high fiber contents with low void content. The hull and deck shell is E-glass over a
tough foam core, with high-density foam and additional uni-directional and multi-axial
reinforcements used in high stress areas. Hull shell support comes from a simple one-piece
structural liner, composed of a transverse mast step, transverse keel floor and a single
centerline longitudinal spanning from the mast step aft to a composite cockpit support
frame. Additional deck support consists of a transverse bowsprit support frame and a
shallow foredeck beam. A structural companionway strut supports the deck amidships.

Interior : A relatively high freeboard and simplified internal structure provides for a
spacious, open interior with sitting headroom on berths port and starboard of the
companionway. A low aspect keel trunk is unobtrusively integrated into the centerline
longitudinal of the internal structure, allowing for easy movement throughout the cabin.
Propulsion is provided by a 6hp outboard, which is conveniently stowed in and deployed
through a well in a locker in the cockpit sole.

Keel : As seen on most of today’s high tech racing yachts, the keel on the 25 footer is a fixed
T-keel configuration with a lead bulb. The builders and designers of the boat considered the

various pros and cons of a lifting versus fixed keel configuration, eventually deciding in favor
of a fixed keel to keep costs down and have a simple, maintenance free installation. The
maximum draft is 1.8m, which does allow the boat to be trailered on its keel throughout
Europe and the US. The keel is assembled into a trunk in the hull with a single M20 stainless
steel bolt making keel assembly and disassembly extremely easy. The carbon fiber fin is one
of the major design features of this yacht. The fin spar is constructed in pre-preg carbon
over a foam mandrel, giving incredible stiffness and strength in a very lightweight package.
The complete keel fin assembly, including spar, blade and hull attachment fitting weighs a
mere 18 kg’s. Such a light fin allows more weight to be packed into the bulb for a lower VCG
and turbo’d performance. The fin planform is trapezoidal and utilizes one of FYD’s
proprietary custom foil section designs for optimum performance in round the buoys racing.
Given the propensity of T-keel configurations to snag kelp and weed, this keel fin also
incorporates a kelp cutter installation. The bulb shape takes advantage of the recent CFD
research FYD has conducted on bulb shape optimization and features a moderate length to
diameter ratio and a high squish ratio for optimum performance in round the buoys racing.
The bulb shape also includes a chine, giving the bulb a low center of gravity and improved
lift efficiency upwind and tight reaching.

Rudder : The 25 footer has an all carbon rudder stock, and a female molded carbon/foam
blade. The choice of carbon for the rudder stock gives superior strength and stiffness while
minimizing weight in the ends of the boat. The blade shape is nearly elliptical and of a high
aspect ratio for maximum lift efficiency and minimum drag. The foil section is one of FYD’s
proprietary custom shapes, with excellent stall characteristics for maximum control in power reaching conditions.
