The Farr 6000 is of conventional solid fibreglass construction
with foam and wooden stiffening in key areas and bonded
in internal mouldings forming the bunks and galley.
A distinctive feature is the lapstrake like mouldings
of the hull, common to the other Farr trailer yachts,
which give additional strength. There is enough built
in bouyancy to ensure the boat will float if completely
flooded. Most hulls will now be twenty years or more
old and have proved over time to be robust and relatively
problem free.
The rig is fractional with a large but easily managed
main which gives the Farr 6000 excellent performance
for its bulk. The original sail plan and class rules
only allowed the standard short footed high aspect jib.
The medium size spinnaker can get the Farr 6000 surfing
in a good breeze but is easily managed. Some owners
have fitted and use a genoa which can be useful in light
wind lake sailing
