About the Farr 25

Designed by the renowned Farr Yacht Design team and built by One Design Yachting in Turkey starting in 2010, this 25-footer represents modern performance-oriented sailing in a compact package. The yacht's aggressive sail area to displacement ratio of 32.6 and low comfort ratio of 8.31 clearly signal its racing DNA, prioritizing speed and responsiveness over traditional cruising amenities. The Farr 25's fin keel with bulb and spade rudder configuration delivers exceptional pointing ability and maneuverability, while the fractional sloop rig provides excellent sail shape control across varying wind conditions. With nearly half its 2,050-pound displacement dedicated to ballast, this boat offers impressive stability despite its light overall weight. Best suited for competitive one-design racing, weekend club racing, and spirited day sailing, the Farr 25 excels in conditions where performance matters most. The relatively high capsize screening value of 2.55 suggests this yacht is primarily intended for protected waters rather than extended offshore passages. Sailors seeking a modern, responsive platform that rewards skill and technique will find the Farr 25's blend of Farr's proven design philosophy and accessible size particularly appealing for developing racing skills or enjoying exciting recreational sailing.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
 32.6
Ballast/Displacement Ballast to Displacement ratio shows what percentage of the boat's total weight is ballast. Higher values generally mean better initial stability and stiffer sail carrying.
30–35% — Typical cruiser35–45% — Stiff performance boatOver 45% — Racing oriented
 48.73
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy
 76.91
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
 8.31
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
 2.55
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 6.40 kn
S# (Speed Number) The Speed Number (S#) is a quick performance index. Higher values indicate a faster, more powerful design relative to its size.
Under 3.0 — Slow cruiser3.0–5.0 — Average cruiser5.0–7.0 — Performance cruiserOver 7.0 — Racer
 7.21
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 660.75 pounds/inch
SA/Displacement (Calc) Calculated Sail Area to Displacement ratio using actual measured sail dimensions rather than reported values. More precise than the reported SA/Disp figure. 32.57
