Overview
Performance cruiser Far Blue is hull #10 of the successful SW72 mini-series designed by Farr Yacht Design (naval architecture, sail plan and appendages) and Antonio Minniti (deck and interior layout).
With hull and deck entirely built in fiberglass sandwich, the yacht was designed for short- hop cruising as well as for serious trans- ocean passages.
Far Blue is the ideal yacht for anyone looking for both comfort and top-quality finishing.
Her versatile deck plan incorporates a large central guest cockpit protected by a recessed dodger and a separate stern sailing cockpit where most manoeuvring gear is concentrated.
The Italian design interior sees an en suite master cabin and two en suite double guest cabins fore of the saloon. The spacious saloon amidships is equipped with a bar and a video, TV and music system and features a large dining area with a comfortable sofa in front of it.
Crew quarters aft feature two crew cabins, a spacious galley and a nav station. The area is served by a dedicated companionway to ensure the privacy of owners and their guests.
Far Blue has been very well maintained. Significant refits in 2017 and 2015 included rigging system replacement, engine, generator and propeller replacement, new B&G electronics package, new interior appliances, transom, mast and boom repainting, new exterior upholstery and many other works.
