Specifications:   Year:                       1976                       LOA:                       36' Beam:                     12' 2"                                              Draft:                      6' Construction:          Carbon Fibre                                     Hull/Keel:                Fin HIN:                       Alfa 1   Description: Design No. 51 (Farr 1104) represents Bruce Farr's first commission for a full blown IOR race boat. The first boat launched to the design - PROSPECT OF PONSONBY - although built with a cruising interior, immediately won the Southern Cross trials, and became the top scoring boat in the 1975 South Cross Cup. PROSPECT's success was followed by JIMINY CRICKET, a true race version, which swept away with the New Zealand Dunhill Series in 1976, 2nd in the 1976 New Zealand One Ton Cup Championships, and 5th place in the 1976 World One Ton Championships. Fibreglass production of cruiser/racer versions was established in New Zealand and Australia in the form of the FARR 1104. Many of these boats are enjoying racing success still in today's competitive IOR fleets. Rule changes in 1978 have affected these boats more than any other design. Some boats get relief through the Mk IIIA allowance by being produced from moulds built before 1976. Others rate approximately 29 ft under present IOR Rule. Design No. 51 also represents the final stage in the development of the safe, efficient, easily handled fractional rig without running backstays which is now a feature of most of Farr's modern fast cruising yachts, and which has been successfully copied by many other cruising and One Design Racing boats. This design also proved to the world that Farr had developed a new style of ocean racing yacht that exhibited superior all round speed and significantly better handling characteristics than any previous boat. The success of these boats spawned many others including SWEET OKOLE - winner 1977 SORC, 1981 Transpac; 45 DEGREES SOUTH II 1st 1976 New Zealand One Ton Championship (under the name of THE NUMBER) - 4th 1976 World One Ton Championships; and PICCOLO - winner 1976 Sydney to Hobart Classic.   Engine(s) & Electrical: Bukh 10hp diesel.

Year:                       1993                       LOA:                       6.30 m Beam:                     2.50 m                                              Draft:                      10" Construction:           GRP                                                   Hull/Keel:                Lifting HIN:                        N/A   Description: Included in the sale will be a set of sails (main, jib, storm jib and a spinnaker with 3 storage bags), a spare main sail and a spare jib - the storm sail and the spinnaker have never been used.  Also included is the trailer. The trailer was purpose made for her - some of the photos here are old ones and it has been modified since then so that there are 2 arms that she sits on so that she is in a type of cradle that holds her snugly whilst on the move. The trailer has been completely overhauled - new wheel bearings, new brake pads, new brake cables, new tyres which are fully weighted for the weight of the boat - not just ordinary trailer tyres, repainted and new jockey wheel. The bottom of the hull has just been anti fouled and the deck has had a new coat of anti-slip paint and the name re-signwritten. 3 fenders hang on the back of the boat. There is a new compass on board, a speedo and a depth gauge. There is a new vhf ship to shore radio - never been used. There is an aerial on the top of the mast and a wind direction indicator. All the cleats that hold the rope for the sails have been replaced and are new. Inside the cabin is red tartan and the height is very good. She is a 4 berth - there is a double bed at the front with 2 singles on the sides which double up as sofas. All have storage under them. There is also a storage locker at the back and a large drawer of ropes etc that pulls out under the step down into the cabin. 4 large material pockets hang on the walls for storage which are ideal for flares, life jackets, etc. In the middle of the cabin is the galley area which has room for a camping stove, a couple of shelves on the wall, a sink with tap and a storage cupboard. There is also a drop down table which can be put up in the middle for when you are sat on the sofa / bed. One of the biggest selling points of her is that she has a dropped keel so with that pulled up she will float in 9 inches of water and so you will get a lot longer on the tide and can get into shallower bays with her. She tows very well on the trailer.   Engine(s) & Electrical: Mercury 4hp, 2-stroke Saildrive.   Accommodation & Below Deck: 4 berths, cloth upholstery, drop-leaf saloon table, gas cooker, galley sink, pumped cold water system.   Deck & Canvas: Sloop rig, 2 sheet winches, anchor, anchor locker, stainless steel pushpit & pulpit, forehatch, stanchions, guardwires.   Navigation & Safety: Log/speed indicator, VHF, compass, lifejackets, flares, lifebouy.   Miscellaneous: Twin axle road trailer.
