Farr 727

The Farr 727 is a mighty little yacht that has played a crucial part in the success of New Zealand yacht racing.

Not only is this diminutive yacht a delight to sail, it is responsible for launching some of New Zealand's top yachties on international careers, which has led to such international success today

The little speedster is fast, easy and exciting to sail, able to plane downwind in fresh breezes - all the ingredients for international success and a timeless racing yacht, which is why you'll still find the 727 class enjoying competitive fleet racing today.
