The Farr 30 is a lightweight one design racing keelboat. About 200 were built starting in 1995 by a number of builders in various countries, including Bénéteau in France.[1]
It was originally called the Mumm 30, since it was sponsored by champagne producer G. H. Mumm until 2007.[2]
It became a World Sailing recognized international class in 1997 and held its first Farr 30 World Championship that year in Marseille, France.[2] It gave up its status in 2018 and the class club ceased operations in 2020.[3] It was the one design class for the Tour de France à la voile from 1999 to 2010.[4]
The hull and deck are built predominantly of a fibreglass and balsa sandwich. The hull has a nearly plumb stem, an open reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel with a swept, weighted bulb.[5] It has a theoretical hull speed of 7.03 kn (13.02 km/h).[6]
It has a 9/10 fractional sloop rig, with a keel-stepped mast, two sets of swept spreaders, a carbon fibre mast, with an aluminium boom, with stainless steel rod standing rigging.
The design has a lightweight and minimal interior, with two berths. Cabin headroom is 44 in (112 cm).[7]
