FARR 50 CENTER COCKPIT CUTTER PILOTHOUSE

When Bruce Farr and his renowned crew of designers, naval architects and engineers produced Design #373, the Farr 50 Pilot House, in 1997, they raised the bar for this particular design.

For too many years, pilothouse sailing yachts had a clunky look, with an oversized salon projecting well above the deck, seemingly attached as an afterthought to the otherwise clean lines of a capable ocean-going vessel. However, when Bruce Farr and his renowned crew of designers, naval architects and engineers produced Design #373, the Farr 50 Pilot House, in 1997, they raised the bar for this particular design. They also heightened expectations for owners, who prized excellent performance under sail, offshore reliability across a wide range of weather and sea conditions, and accommodations that blended home-style amenities and carefully planned spaces.

Only 25 of the 50PH models were built, and they were constructed to a very high standard, by BSI Marine in Lysekil, Sweden, and sold through Boat Sales International UK. For that reason, they were and continue to be sought after in global brokerage listings. The enduring appeal of the 50PH shouldn’t come as a surprise, considering Farr’s designs have long dominated offshore sailing in pure racing and competitive cruising arenas alike, ranging from the Volvo Ocean Race to the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC).

The most striking features of the boat are the salon and pilothouse, which is equipped with safety glass windows for spectacular views. A raised wraparound settee for up to six passengers is served by a large table for dining.

The boat also has very comfortable accommodations, including a large master stateroom aft, equipped with a king-sized island berth, settee, hanging wardrobe and ensuite head with separate shower. Access is through a portside passageway.
