Topic: Farr 3.7Posted: 01 May 12 at 12:52pm |
I think that the hull material cost will be an eye opener for many. Particularly as the tricky bits are all nicely cut with near zero waste. Yes, the fittings, rig and foils will cost a fair bit but the Farr 3.7 is a relatively small, single sail boat with a few simple controls. The Farr 3.7 is a great boat and although it's been around a while, it's a breath of fresh air. I wish the class every success. |

Yeah fittings will be a cost, but there aren't many of them thankfully! Only blocks for the main and outhaul, cunningham and kicker.

First go trapeze helming. He'd got the tiller extension stuck between the sail and boom on a tack, and got wet. Easy done when you aren't used to a 6 foot extension!
