About boat

The Farr 30 - formerly Mumm 30 was designed by Farr Yacht Design led by Bruce Farr. The first boat was built by Carrol Marine and first launched in 1995. The class is recognised by the International Sailing Federation.
One of the most successful design offices in recent years has been that of Mark Mills. Yachting World has been asking top sailors and marine industry gurus to choose the coolest and most innovative yachts of our times, and yacht designer Mark Mills nominated the Mumm 30. Launched in 1995, and later rebranded as the Farr 30, the one design class was recognized by the World Sailing from 1997 to 2018 but remains a sweet ride … here’s the report:
“I picked the Mumm 30 partly out of respect for Bruce Farr,” says designer Mark Mills. “[Farr] was so competitive in IOR in my teens, then equally strong in IMS as well as dominating the Whitbread Round the World Races, while penning some of the most successful ‘big boat’ one-design classes ever.“Through all those different briefs he managed to maintain a fidelity to light, clean, simple design, no matter what rule pressures applied.
