Aktualisiert: 3. Apr. 2023

The entire racing package described in the following lines has a new replacement value of 170.000 EUR, the boat has only been raced for 4 years, since the 1st place in the Silverrudder 2019 savely stored in a shed.

The FARR280 is an ideal boat for beginners in modern offshore racing. It behaves like a TP52 and is trimmed in the same way. The little sister of the TP is very good-natured and forgiving, practically never gets out of control.
