UK Farr 3.7 class website launched ahead of the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show

"In light of the interest in the class and the building projects in progress. It seemed the right time to create and launch the uk 3.7 class website" commented Daryl Wilkinson, original importer of the 3.7 to the UK.

"Although the class association is not yet officially set up in the UK it seemed to me that the time was right for a portal that was beyond my own blog"... "this allows for a more formalised setting for those interested in the class going forward. I am also currently fine tuning the website, as well as working with the NZ Association to enable 3.7 building plans to be sourced from the UK."

Farr 3.7 Test Sail

Having sailed more regular boats in my life such as Toppers, Lasers, 420s and Fireballs, I didn’t really know what to expect from the Farr 3.7, being a single handed trapeze boat that is unlike anything else I have sailed before.

I love the smell of Gaboon Ply in the morning...

'It’s sad really, but even the smell was great as the wood was unwrapped. A mix of Cedar and the Gaboon ply, mmm...' the words of Dave Barker. He truly has the 3.7 bug!

Great weekend for the Farr 3.7 at the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show

What a fantastic show! The interest in the 3.7 was truly astonishing. So much so that I for one almost lost my voice from the amount of talking I did.
