PS says this Farr design from the largest builder of production sailboats in the world "performs well in round-the-buoy races, yet its three-cabin interior also makes it a comfortable, seasonal cruiser."
[Practical Sailor, 1 November 1999]
The largest builder of cruising yachts in the world, including racer/cruisers, from 32 to 57 feet.
