Farr Yacht Design’s 30ft proposal just happens also to fit the initial parameters set out by World Sailing for the mixed two-handed offshore discipline at the Paris 2024 Olympics
Many a slip twixt cup and lip, but working with former Mini Transat skipper Bret Perry, on paper at least, the Farr office’s X2 design looks a worthy successor to the outstanding Mumm 30 launched in 1997; a design that enjoyed one-design racing all around the world yet was robust enough to see service on the Tour de France à la Voile. The X2 is even more offshore oriented than its predecessor, yet
with displacement still kept to a very sprightly 2,500kg, of which 1,000kg is ballast. A deep draft of 3.1m allied to a plenty generous upwind sail area of 64m2
(141m2 downwind) will certainly deliver
performance – though given the lofty oceanic ambitions of the design team this powerful combination may mean experienced offshore stalwarts will take a little more convincing. ‘The X2 is also for real offshore use, up to the Sydney Hobart and
Fastnet,’ says Perry rather bravely. ‘The design brief has the X2 able to compete in all shorthanded events globally. Yet it can also be sailed at club level with crew in fleets such as the Super 30s in Australia and HP30s in the UK.’ Target IRC rating is 1.025. ‘The final sail plan will take account of our knowledge from the
shorthanded scene in Europe, including furling systems and a triple sail configuration with that 5ft prodder out front!’ Perry adds. ‘The modern hybrid-scow hull form provides many of the downwind
advantages of the full scow bow but sacrifices less windward per- formance in waves. The sharp chines aft are a tool to keep beam to a sensible level. A vessel of this length would have to be 4.5m wide to make full effect of a true scow bow, then you have all that

increased wetted surface. Think Comanche and you’re there. The concept, hull form and sail plan have been specifically designed for the shorthanded market. It was never designed with Paris 2024 directly in mind, but you can draw your own conclusions. ‘We have also taken a common sense approach to rules for class
competition; she will not be a cruiser/racer. Furniture costs a lot of money, so it’s pipe cots, a single burner and a removable head to meet basic rating requirements. You could say I have been a bit selfish about this design, because I’m going to sail it. I am not going to miss out on the fun. That said, I don’t want anyone else to miss out either. I plan to push Boat 1 hard to get to know it and be a part of what is going to be an extremely exciting design and class.’ Bret Perry, Adelaide

The new Arkema 4 for skipper Quentin Vlamynck should raise the bar in this ‘sportif’ class A second new Multi50 for Fabrice Quérec and Thierry Dupré will make sure that she does… The US Fox TP52 team have decided to go all ‘Ichi Ban’ for their new boat A new IRC racer-racer-cruiser with suggested influence from Carkeek’s Fast40s Full carbon racer-cruiser. That carbon fibre stuff is definitely catching on Another optimised IRC racer-cruiser, carefully pitched just above TP52 size
Very ‘Rán-looking’ IRC/ORC 57-footer. Geared up to race but some dual use is allowed for This Verdier Imoca is pointing straight at The Ocean Race for 11th Hour Racing Xabí Fernandez is still working (with his government) to make The Ocean Race Maxime Sorel is rebuilding Thomas Ruyant’s boat from the last Vendée Globe Switchback’s half-built boat for The Ocean Race might be yours…
Impressive-looking IRC cruiser-racer from an interesting but little-known design studio We know it looks stunning… and incorporates flax and wicker in the build Boat no1 of a series build of a new and stylish carbon lift-keel racer-cruiser The second British AC75 is still coming together, as are three other V2 boats (again) Interesting performance cruiser with foil-assist for righting moment and pitch-damping Carbon hull, deck, mast, rigging, sails, probably the loo as well. Just in time for next Christmas Sailing should say thank you to Banque Populaire… amazing loyalty by such a big sponsor One ‘lightly used’ Ultim for sale and one brand spankers new one half-completed The first one-off custom Superyacht from Swan
Gorgeous indeed. Classic pilot cutter looks allied to modern design and heavy eco-focus The biggest yet from Persico. Very light at 171 tonnes. Hybrid power for silent running Big, fast and fruity-looking new cruiser-racer from Rolfie. Will launch regatta ready
