Farr Yacht Design, widely recognised for its cutting-edge and award-winning fleet of yachts, was founded in 1981 in Annapolis, Maryland.

Fast performer from Down Under: Farr X2

• February 11th, 2023

Undoubtedly the sailing heart of the world beats in France . Most of the groundbreaking designs and breakthroughs are achieved by this nation between the mighty Atlantic Ocean and the Med. And because of this, we tend to loose our attention because there is a lot going on outside of France – and even outside of Europe as well. It was during Corona that I first read about a 30 footer performance project started in Australia. I was called “Farr X2” and the sole name should pick up our ears.

Now, with the first units hitting the water, the series production of the 10 meter-boat has started and I have no doubt that we will soon see the first boats arriving in the European racing theaters. As I have a soft spot for the small performance-oriented boats, I took my chance and contacted the team behind this racing-boat project.

Talking to Farr X2-mastermind, Bret Perry

Apart from the topic itself, I find it always so fascinating to directly communicate with people who are literally on the other side of the planet. Isn´t that wonderful? Just days after my request I got acquainted with Bret Perry in Australia, who is the mastermind behind the Farr X2-project, and this is what we have been talking about …

Lars Reisberg | NO FRILLS SAILING.com: “Bret, thanks for taking your time answering my questions. Let´s start with a short introduction: Who are you and what is your task within the Farr X2-project?”

Farr X2 | Bret Perry: “Hi Lars. To put it short, I am the global license holder and project manager of the Farr X2-project. I pulled the design-team of the boat, the engineering-staff and build-team together to initiate the project beyond the concept.”

NO FRILLS SAILING.com: “What was the general idea behind the Farr X2-project?

Bret Perry: “Our aim was to design a high-performance short-handed offshore yacht that was powerful and fun but easy to handle.”

NO FRILLS SAILING.com: “… sounds familiar. The 30 ft performance market has seen a soar, many interesting boats appeared within a relatively short period of time: Figaro 3 , Dehler 30 OD or just in the new Sun Fast 30 OD – what would you say sets the Farr X2 apart from all these boats?”

Bret Perry: “I´d say clearly the performance! A lot of the boats on the market still sit in the heavier racer/cruiser style of yacht. The Farr X2 is a smartly designed race boat. It has a well thought out ergonomic deck layout and below we have focused on how to use the space to create a comfortable but light fit out. The Farr X2 has by far the most optimum power to weight ration giving it plenty of power in lighter conditions. But the sail plan enables you to shorten sail very easily to manage heavier conditions with ease. It was always our focus to be powered up early to make sure the boat is always sailing to its numbers.”

NO FRILLS SAILING.com: “The X2 is an Australian project, where it was conceived and is produced: Where is the main market for the boat? How many orders/boats in the water does the company already have?”

Bret Perry: “Well, the idea was conceived in Australia but has been a goal of mine ever since my time in the Mini 650-fleet in Spain and France. After the Mini 650 the next step was the Class 40 which I find to be too much for a lot of people. At the time there were only a few 30 ft-boats that were being raced but these were generally older designs. The double handed-market boomed a few years back and that was when I decided to pull the trigger. The SunFast 3300, Dehler 30 OD, J 99 and even the JPK 1080 were taking hold. But I thought that there still wasn’t a thoroughbred racing boat with absolute speed in mind …”

Bret Perry: “… the main market is no doubt Europe and it is my big push over the coming months. Hull #3 and #4 will be sailing together out of Hamble in the coming weeks which will be the start of a very exciting season. North America is also gaining momentum with two more boats there this season. New Zealand is also a very big double handed market and we have hull #5 going there in early February. We have more orders on our books and it is my personal goal to reach 20 boats over the coming year. After that I consider the Farr X2 a success and it will look after itself once we reach that milestone. Who knows how many we will do? I can only answer that by saying – as many as we can. (smiles) ”

NO FRILLS SAILING.com: “During one of the very early sea trials a keel came off the boat – could you describe in short what has been the reason for this and which measures had been taken to never repeat this circumstance?”

Bret Perry: “Yes, unfortunately, hull #1 was completely written off after the keel issue. We had not been able to secure the keel nor the bolts to enable us to 100 % pinpoint the exact reason for the event. It was not a composite issue, we have been able to determine that for sure, but to say exactly is pure speculation as to what happened. It shook us all up, especially the crew on board for which we are thankful they were rescued safely. But what it did do was force us to look at the entire system so we completely redesigned the keel attachment system. We took a “Belts and Braces” approach to ensure it never happens again. The original design was 2 x A4 80 bolts down into the fin we have reversed that and anchored 2 x A4 80 studs which now come up into the boat and are locked with A4 80 nuts, so it is the same material there. We have also implemented a nut lock-system to prevent any unwinding. All our boats have this and hull #2 in San Fran has been completely retrofitted with the new system and is about to go back in the water.”

NO FRILLS SAILING.com: “Have you personally sailed an X2 already? What were your impressions? What is can she do exceptionally?”

Bret Perry: “Oh yes, absolutely! Although when I am on the boat it is hard to get hold of the tiller because once you are on you don’t want to let go. Upwind she is balanced and has a great feel. It rests and tracks perfectly on the chine. Remember, it is only 30 ft so the waterline is a huge factor here. In saying this we can definitely hold our own against the likes of the SunFast 3300 which is a bit longer but suffers with a bit more weight. It’s as soon as you crack sheets that’s when she springs into life. The percentage of performance increases with every degree away from VMG upwind. It is really amazing to be honest! In some cases, we can easily be 2 knots faster and deeper at any given time.”

NO FRILLS SAILING.com: “Is the maybe the Olympic one/singlehanded-topic still an issue and, or, maybe a target for the Farr X2?”

Bret Perry: “Playing that by ear, I really think that the Farr X2 is the perfect boat. But to be realistic, the cost is not feasible for an Olympic class, to be honest. The Farr X2 is a fully set up offshore racing yacht with only the best gear on board to ensure the best time on the water. So that is not our focus. 2023 and 2024 is shaping up to be huge in the Farr X2-world. We are pushing very hard to get boats out of the shed. Our season in Europe is going to be very focused and we will be putting some very big names on the boats. So stay tuned for that!”

Thanks so much, Bret , this was very interesting! I am excited to see the first boats arriving from Down Under in Europe and see how the Farr X2 will hold up herself against the tight competition.

The design concept for the Farr 50 Pilothouse series was for a fast and comfortable bluewater cruiser that could be handled by two people from either the cockpit or navigation station in the pilothouse. The cockpit is spacious and well protected, with all sail controls easily reached from the helm. The aft decks are wide with built-in seats, generous storage lockers, built-in swim platform and watertight bulkheads forward and aft. Another unique and very desirable feature is the raised pilothouse/main salon area that provides a raised seating area with panoramic views all around and the ability to pilot the yacht from down below with full visibility. 

+ ACCOMMODATIONS

CALADAN sleeps six in three private cabins with two heads and two shower stalls. Interior joiner work is all satin varnished African mahogany with locking teak and holly soles, flush door hardware and customized vents for locker spaces. Large pilothouse windows, opening hatches and hull portholes provide great light and ventilation. There are Oceanair screens/sunshades and ventilation fans throughout the interior, and all interior lights are on dimmers. 

Pilothouse/Salon 

The main companionway is only three steps down from the cockpit and offers a safe entrance into the pilothouse/salon area. The area is designed to provide a good all-around view while standing, and the raised 'U- shaped’ dining/seating area to starboard offers unmatched views when seated. The large mahogany dining table accommodates six very comfortably and features bottle storage locker below. There are two opening deck hatches and two large opening portholes to cockpit. 

The navigation station is to port, with chart table and adjustable pedestal chair. There are electrical panels, full instrumentation and engine controls to allow piloting from below deck. Aft of the nav station is a locker that holds a pop-up flatscreen TV. Grab rails are well positioned around the entire area. Access to the main engine, generator and mechanical equipment is under the salon sole, which easily lifts on gas struts. 

Galley 

The walk-through galley is located two steps down from the aft port end of the pilothouse. There are large cabinets with sliding doors and large storage lockers above the counters with drop-down fronts to provide more counter space, and several drawers and lockers below counters.

Owner Cabin

There is generous stowage in this cabin, including two very large hanging lockers, and full-width locker storage across the aft end of the cabin with washer/dryer. An overhead hatch with screens and blinds and three opening ports into the cockpit offer excellent ventilation.  

The en-suite head with separate shower is to starboard with wash basin, Vacuflush toilet, shower unit with seat, mirror, towel rack, and good storage under the vanity. There is one opening port and exhaust fan for ventilation. The countertop and flooring are Corian. 

Starboard Guest Cabin 

To starboard and forward of the pilothouse is the smaller guest cabin, which features a large single berth and two large storage lockers and shelving. The berth location is ideal for sleeping while at sea, with an additional pipe berth available when needed. Opposite to port of the passageway are two large storage lockers ideal for long term cruising.   

Forward Guest Cabin 

The forward guest cabin has a centerline queen berth, shelves and storage outboard. There is a hanging locker, a small desk with seat, opening ports each side, and a large opening overhead hatch.

Passengers scream as superyacht worth £95m crashes into smaller boat

This is the shocking moment a £95 million superyacht crashed into a smaller boat with at least six people on board.

Footage shows the 232 ft boat named Ice gliding through the water as it heads towards another boat off the coast of Yalıkavak, Turkey on Saturday.

Passengers on the smaller boat can be heard screaming as the superyacht sails towards them.

The vessel’s bow then crashed into the stern of a 101ft motor yacht carrying at least half a dozen people.

It is unclear why the collision occurred, but has been reported that at least half a dozen people were on the smaller boat at the time.

The boat suffered major damage at the stern but no onboard was injured.

The superyacht is part of the Lürssen shipbuilding company and can hold 14 guests and 27 crew members.

Features include a large helipad, beauty salon and bathtubs carved out of solid limestone.

There is also a state-of-the-art gym, jacuzzi and countless lounge and relaxation areas, both in- and outdoors.

The Coast Guard has launched an investigation into the incident.

In June two boats were involved in a devastating crash and a sailor was thrown overboard during a yacht race.

A man was flung from a boat as competitors battled rough seas during the Round the Island Race in the Isle of Wight today.

He then desperately clung onto his life jacket before being rescued.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) rushed to his aid to pull him from the water despite the extreme conditions.

Alice Guo confirms leaving PH by boats, one of which was a yacht

Dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo on Monday said that they left the Philippines via boats, one of which was a yacht.

"Umalis po kami, Madam Chair, by boat po," Guo told a Senate panel.

(We left, Mada'm Chair, by boat.)

"Meron po kaming sinakyang yate po," she added, confirming the information asked by Senator Risa Hontiveros who is the chairperson of the panel.

(There was a yacht we boarded.)

After being pressed by the senators to tell more details about their escape, Guo said they climbed aboard the yacht in a port in Metro Manila.

However, Guo refused to divulge to the public the name of the person who facilitated their yacht ride and the owner of the same.

What she only recalled was that the yacht has "wings" stickers and numbers on it.

The senators tried to get the names of the facilitator and the owner by asking Guo to write it on a piece of paper, but she requested them not to divulge it in public.

Guo wrote the name of the facilitator of the trip on a paper, but she noted that she is not sure if he is the owner of the yacht.

Guo has repeatedly told the senators that she is afraid for her safety due to threats which she refused to divulge to the Senate panel.

After riding the yacht for a "few hours", they transferred to a bigger boat. She said she doesn't know the exact location where they made the transfer.

"Madilim pa rin po...Basta dagat po," she said.

(It was still dark. It was in the sea.)

After transferring to a bigger boat, Guo said they stayed in one room for days. She added that she was not aware of the time because they were told not to use their cellphones.

"Siguro mga four or three or five [days]. Basta matagal po...Four days po siguro... Hindi po kami pinapalabas," she said.

(Maybe four or three or five [days]. It was long... Four days maybe... We were not allowed to go out.)

She admitted that she felt afraid in the middle of the second boat ride.

"Kung puwede lang umatras, aatras na po ako...Nakakatakot po talaga," she said.

(If it were just possible to back out, I would have backed out... It was really scary.)

"Gusto ko na po umuwi. Gusto ko na po bumalik," she added.

(I wanted to go home. I wanted to go back.)

Asked why she did not return, Guo said, "Nagkamali po talaga ako (I really made a mistake)."

After riding the second "big" boat, Guo said they transferred to another small boat then proceeded to Malaysia.

"Paglabas po namin, may sinakyan pa kami isang maliit na bangka... 'Yung bangka po bumiyahe pa po kami tapos Malaysia na po," she said.

(When we got out, we boarded a small boat... That boat traveled to Malaysia.)

Asked about the location where they arrived in Malaysia, Guo said she doesn't know because they were instructed not to look around the places they have been.

In a separate Senate investigation last August 27, Guo's supposed sister, Shiela Guo, told the senators that they left the Philippines by riding several boats .

According to Shiela, the three of them were fetched by a van from their farm in Tarlac and they traveled southbound from dinner time to midnight.

However, she said she does not know the location where they rode a small white boat. According to Shiela, the small boat can only cater to around 10 people.

They then transferred to a bigger boat which Shiela said can accommodate many people. The second ship appears to be a fishing ship because there were nets on it, according to Shiela.

After riding what seemed to be a fishing ship, Shiela said they transferred again to a smaller boat.

Asked if the last boat transferred them to Malaysia, Shiela answered in the affirmative.

It took a month before the Philippine government became aware that Guo and her siblings had left the country in July.

• This New 72-Foot Yacht’s New Hybrid Propulsion System Is the First of Its Kind

Azimut worked with Volvo Penta on its Seadeck 7 to develop a hybrid system for Volvo's feature-rich IPS propulsion system.

Two marine industry leaders announced what could be a propulsion revolution in yachting—a serial-hybrid propulsion system mated to some of the coolest tech on the water.

Volvo Penta has been working toward this moment—a warrantied stem-to-stern hybrid system that works with all the features of its IPS system—for years. Robb Report saw the first iteration of the system two years ago on a tourist boat in Svalbard, Norway.

“This was the first release of a heavy-duty version of the hybrid built around D13 engines,” Johan Inden, president of Volvo Penta Marine, tells Robb Report , adding that it had built a prototype of the Seadeck 7 two years ago to test the engines.

The hybrid IPS system hits a sweet spot in the yachting sector, mostly because of the large number of builders offering boats from 65 to 100 feet. “This is the world’s first hybrid system that coordinates with our IPS system, allowing users to operate joystick driving and docking, low speed handling, dynamic positioning, and assisted docking in both pure electric and hybrid modes,” says Inden.

The Seadeck 7 is a big departure for Azimut. Missing are the conventional luxuries that define most of the Italian brand’s other models. In its place is an eco-friendly package, its hull optimized for maximum efficiency in both planing and displacement modes, while carbon fiber has been used in 40 percent of the vessel to remove weight. With the new hybrid propulsion, says Azimut, the Seadeck 7 emits up to 40 percent less carbon dioxide than similar-sized vessels.

Beyond the eco-credentials, the Seadeck 7 has cool features such as the planing hull that reaches 40 knots and an exterior that Azimut calls “Fun Island,” because of its proximity to the water, connection to the interior via large glass doors, and fold-down side platforms.

The series also includes the Seadeck 6 , which is 57’5” in length, and an upcoming Seadeck 9, which is 83’9”. Both the Seadeck 6 and Seadeck 7 will be on display this week at Cannes, but buyers who want the Seadeck 7 will have to wait until late 2025 when the first units ship.
