Owner Experience Review

Owners who choose the Far Harbor 39byCUSTOMdo so for a very specific mission: the boat was designed to ship in a standard 40-foot container, letting them reposition between cruising grounds as part of the cruising plan. Expert and owner notes consistently frame it as a couples cruising boat—well suited to short-handed coastal and offshore passages—and not intended as a general-purpose charter platform. If container transport isn’t in your playbook, Practical Sailor cautions that the design’s container-driven compromises may not be the right trade.

On the water, trials reported a surprisingly dry ride and confident behavior in 24–25 knots and 5–7-foot seas. It goes to weather respectably, tacking through about 100 degrees and tracking well once the hard chine and keel are engaged, and it both sails and motors efficiently—Practical Sailor likened the feel to a stretched International 110. The narrow 7.5-foot beam and atypical proportions have prompted forum questions about rolly motion and overall habitability, though testers emphasized the boat’s stiffness when the chine starts to work.

Ashore and afloat, the interior is repeatedly described as “perfect for two,” with a bright, airy space, a workable galley, a forward V-berth, and an ergonomically laid-out head. The cockpit is small (seats four) and the layout, tankage, and raised pilothouse/inside steering are optimized for two and mixed-weather passages. Headroom is constrained by the shipping-dimension brief; the cambered “bubble” deck helps at least for people 5 feet 10 inches and under, while taller sailors may find it restrictive. Maintenance notes are straightforward: the engine is typically a 40-hp Yanmar with saildrive and has good access via removable steps and service hatches; reviewers advise scrutinizing production boats for finish consistency, minding that the hydraulic steering shutoff is in the lazarette where stowed gear can impede access. No widely reported model-specific recurring failures turned up in the literature, but a careful pre-purchase inspection remains wise.

Pros and Cons

• Container-shippable size enables easy repositioning between cruising grounds as part of the cruising plan.
• Confident in 24–25-knot winds and 5–7-foot seas, tracking well once the chine engages and running efficiently under sail and power.
• Interior and systems are optimized for two, with a raised pilothouse and inside steering for protected mixed-weather cruising.
• Headroom is constrained by the container-driven design, especially for those taller than about 5 feet 10 inches.
• The narrow 7.5-foot beam and small cockpit can feel tight and raise owner questions about rolly motion.
• Production finish consistency is uncertain versus the prototype, so a careful pre-purchase inspection is advised.
