Farr 50 Pilothouse – a masterpiece of offshore cruising design

Conceived by the world‑renowned Bruce Farr and meticulously built by B.S.I. in Sweden in 1998, the Farr 50 Pilothouse is a GRP sailing yacht that fuses innovative engineering with refined craftsmanship. Stretching 15.38 meters overall, with a sleek dark blue hull and teak decking, it presents a timeless profile whose elegance is matched by formidable offshore capability.

Thoughtfully drawn for life at sea, its design separates utility from serenity: large forward and aft storage lockers are fully isolated from the living spaces, so dinghies, sails, and cruising gear disappear into dedicated volumes without encroaching on the saloon or cabins. A watertight forward sail locker elevates both safety and accessibility, making extended passages simpler, tidier, and more secure.

At the heart of onboard life is the panoramic pilothouse, bathing the saloon in light and preserving a horizon view whether seated or standing. This airy, centrally placed space minimizes motion under way and blends comfort with command, combining an interior steering position, a comprehensive navigation station, and plush seating that invites relaxed conversation and spirited entertaining.

The interior is appointed in rich mahogany with yellow leather upholstery, creating a warm, contemporary tone across a versatile three‑cabin layout. Two generous double cabins each enjoy ensuite bathrooms with showers, while a side cabin with a double bed serves a nearby dayhead—perfect for family cruising or hosting friends. The galley is thoroughly equipped for long passages, featuring a double stainless steel sink, Corian countertops, a Force 10 stainless steel stove with oven, a microwave, and multiple refrigerators and freezers to keep provisions fresh and service effortless.

Under power, a Yanmar 4L‑HTE diesel delivering 110hp gives a confident cruising speed of approximately 8 knots. A self‑adjusting Maxprop propeller, a retractable Lewmar bow thruster, and a constant velocity drive shaft contribute to smooth, efficient running, while a 600‑liter fuel capacity underpins impressive range and autonomy offshore.

Navigation and situational awareness are state‑of‑the‑art, with Raymarine RL80 CRC and RL70 RC radar/plotters positioned at both the helm and the nav station, an ST290 autopilot, and ST80 instruments providing clear, multi‑view data for wind, speed, and depth. Communications are equally robust, with a satphone, GSM connectivity, a Simrad VHF, and a Sony CD player adding an easy layer of entertainment.

Comfort systems are designed for all climates and all seasons, including reverse‑cycle air conditioning, dual Webasto heating systems, and a pressure water system drawing from a 780‑liter tank. A 420‑liter holding tank, shore power, and efficient battery systems further elevate independence and convenience for extended cruising.

Dimensions and specifications confirm the boat’s blue‑water pedigree: LOA 15.38 m, beam 4.70 m, draft 2.30 m, displacement approximately 17,000 kg. Fuel capacity is 600 liters and water capacity is 780 liters. Power is the Yanmar 4L‑HTE, 110hp, with navigation equipment by Raymarine including RL80 CRC, RL70 RC, the ST290 autopilot, and ST80 instruments. Enhancing its already striking presence, the dark blue hull was newly painted in 2023.

The Farr 50 Pilothouse is a rare opportunity for sailors seeking that uncommon balance of offshore performance, safety, and luxurious comfort—equally at ease embarking on a family adventure or welcoming friends aboard for an unhurried coastal cruise.
