Emerging as the front-runner of this line was an 80 footer for Don Tate.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;concept&#8221; was for a super comfortable world cruiser capable of being handled by as few as two people on shorter journeys due to extensive use of electronics and hydraulics.<\/p>\n<p>Farr Yacht Design undertook to create the lines of a yacht that met with the perceptions set forth by Tate and Koskenkyla. Additional responsibilities included the engineering of the hull and deck construction, keel, rudder and the sail plan.<\/p>\n<p>For production capabilities a female mould was used in laying up the single skin GRP hull which is formed primarily of unidirectional E-glass laminates over top hat frames and bulkheads with PVC foam core in the sides.<\/p>\n<p>The winged keel maintains a high level of performance providing the up wind stability and low leeway angles of a deep keel with the benefit of shallow draft in cruising excursions. The rudder is simple and efficient with a partial skeg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","yacht-type":[10,31,9],"design-type":[],"class_list":["post-4745","yacht","type-yacht","status-publish","hentry","yacht-type-length","yacht-type-list","yacht-type-number"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/farrdesign.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yacht\/4745","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/farrdesign.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yacht"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/farrdesign.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/yacht"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/farrdesign.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"yacht-type","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/farrdesign.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yacht-type?post=4745"},{"taxonomy":"design-type","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/farrdesign.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/design-type?post=4745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
