You're right Dave. I particularly like the way he modified the transom and eliminated all that bothersome cockpit seeting to allow space for that really cool wheel.

Eliminating bothersome cockpit seating? There is about 4 times the cockpit space in that thing. And - almost all running rigging runs below deck - so no lines in the way

The wheel on the o'day would actually fit in between any of the spokes on that wheel. To put it in perspective the cockpit is probably about 5 or 6 feet wide at that point. Maybe more.

Wasn't really looking for anyone to 'Bite' - Name's in the PHOTO

Port side of the Cockpit Farr 40

This group can usually break down a photo pixel by pixel - I was surprised I didn't have a handful of questions already.

When you start getting into the larger One Design Racers (in this case Farr 40ODR) most race one design. The others are usually racing in an IMS class. Combine all of that with the price and most areas don't have a lot of history to rate them. Ergo, the ratings are all over the board. I've seen everything from a -12 to a 6 for the ratings. PHRF-LE is also a few points lower than the rest of the country too. This owner races One Design and a quick look at the PHRF list doesn't show any variances.


The boat has so many neat features: The main halyard comes out in the cabin and the cleat is right on the mast. This supposedly creates less slippage. I don't know if they had a halyard lock but wouldn't be surprised if the bowman triggered something on the main halyard before we dropped it.


Anyone want to take a guess as to what the two carbon poles are laying on the deck in front of the binnacle-esque thing?

The traveler adjustment lines go below decks. Is it for the traveler?
Backup tiller?

No - not for the backup tiller...

The traveler adjustment lines do go below decks - you can see the wire part of the traveler leave the cockpit. The Main trimmer sits in front of the wheel and I believe one of the three lines coming out of either side of the binacle is the traveler. The main sheet actually runs alongside the boom, down through the deck and back up where the trimmer sits - no cleats, just a self tailing winch on either side.

The emergency Tiller port is the big round thing aft of the wheel.

Since nobody else is guessing....it is the hydraulic backstay adjuster. The black button on either side of the cockpit - seen near the stainless foot rest - is the release.
