Well Dave is good to his word again. he promised to get onto "Project Farr" after recovery from an injury and my god he has been busy. The 1st UK Farr is out the mould and is very light indeed 28kg! I know that there is still the floor and foredeck to add + paint and varnish but the boat I think the will then still come in under weight.
If you want to check out the progress please have a look at the link below and you can also get involved with the UK Farr association forum on what colour the 1st boat should be. personally in true cherub style I would go with Gun metal grey for the outside and floor and Lambo green for the side tanks and foredeck! If anyone has seen my rebuild of the Italian Bistro Cherub "Monkey Magic" you will know that bright in my book is always best!
I have included a few snaps of the old beast for those interested.
Man looking back what a sexy looking boat. A little bit like the RS900 but as I built mine before there one I can say it was all my own doing!
Anyway getting back to the Farr here are the links to Y&Y site where the thread is

Get involved and your colour scheme might be the one Dave chooses!!!
Evening all.

Just a quick update. Butler has his teeth well and truly sunk into the Farr.

check it out. The 1st one is in the mould!!!
I know there must be a couple of people who have looked at the plans and will look at this and say it does not look like the plans. True but you must remember
1) This is "work in progress"
2) Dave is not building them to the plans more a mould which apparently is a modern way of doing things!
Anyway I am very excited that it is coming together finally!!
Other exciting news ADM sails have finished my sail!!!! Unfortunately due to the "job" thing I have had not had time to stop in and get it. Thankfully I know Andy well so he knows I'm good for the money!!!!!
We are also in the process of getting a class association together! So the class can grow and become great!!!!
I know there is a bit of noise regarding the class. If you are thinking about getting one or want to find out more drop me a line and I will give you more info.
Bye for now!!!!!
