FARR 50 PILOTHOUSE

GRP sailing yacht Farr 50 pilothouse, "Lotte", built in 2002 by B.S.I. in Sweden, designed by Bruce Farr, dim.: 15.38 m (lwl 12.95 m) x 4.70 m x 2.30 m, headway approx 23,75 meter, GRP white hull, displacement approx. 17,000 kg, fin keel, two extra low's expoxy beneath the water line, teak deck and teak in cockpit, cockpit 15 cm extended, the roof of the pilot house has been shortened on the rear end, fuel capacity approx. 600 litres and an additional 300 liter dieseltank, water capacity approx. 780 litres, holding tank approx. 420 litres, water and fuel tank meters. So many designs compromise their suitability for offshore cruising by using all the available space for accommodation. Not so with the Farr 50. She has large storage lockers in the bow and stern providing large amounts of space accessible from the deck only. So you do not need to go through the living accommodation with dinghies, sails and the multitude of gear that, in other yachts, are trailed through the saloon and stowed in the forecabin. For security and safety the forward sail locker is totally watertight and separate from the forward cabin. Unquestionably, the defining feature of any of the Farr 50's is the pilothouse which provides panoramic views whilst seated or standing throughout the saloon. This provides the perfect combination of cosy "living-room" comfort with airy spaciousness. As well as featuring an interior steering position and a comprehensive navigation area, the saloon´s seating areas will easily accommodate your guests by keeping the accommodation close to the centre of the yacht, the motion at sea is minimised.
