The Farr 9.2 Association is looking for a new home for our set of fibreglass moulds for constructing a Farr 9.2 yacht, as used for the vibrant fleet here in Perth.

The design is based on Bruce Farr design #87 – 9.2m LOA, 2.8m beam, 1.6m draft (with standard keel). A racing-cruiser style, the boat is very suitable for both racing on the river and ocean passages, with a stable but efficient hull shape.

A typical construction includes berths for five (one double v-berth, two settee berths, one quarter berth), plus toilet, galley and navigation station. Spacious cockpit with comfortable helming and trimming positions, four winches, storage lockers, and sugar-scoop style transom. Engine bay suitable for a saildrive-type engine – current boats are equipped with 9-16hp diesels or a direct-drive electric engine.

Included are the moulds for the hull, deck and interior cabin layout. Moulds for the smaller components (hatch cover, cockpit lockers and rudder) are kept by the Farr 9.2 Association, and would be available for loan to a constructor, at no cost. A layup schedule can be provided also, to guide a build process.

The moulds can be used in two configurations, through the use of a removable insert. The insert brings the companionway forward, giving a larger cockpit and smaller cabin than the original class-compliant configuration.

The Farr 9.2 fleet in Perth consists of 14 boats, almost all sailing in frequent races on the Swan River. The Farr 9.2 Association coordinates two series of races during the year, plus a number of social and cruising events. The association would welcome any newcomers, and our membership has extensive experience with the design to field any questions for a new build.

Please contact Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org> for any questions, or to view either some of the existing boats or the moulds themselves.

The purchaser will need to arrange transport. The moulds are located in O’Connor, with facilities to load on to a flat-bed truck. The moulds are currently stacked, and can be transported as a single unit. We can provide a recommendation for a transport provider if necessary. Space required for the stacked moulds is approx 9.5m (l) × 3m (w) × 3.5m (h).

Price for the set of moulds is $150 negotiable. We’re looking for a quick sale, feel free to get in touch if you have any queries.
