| Farr Yacht Design’s latest offering, design is a 55 foot IRC racing design with boats currently under construction in New Zealand and Turkey. A unique feature with a large impact on the hull design is the twin rudder steering arrangement. The twin rudders generate much less stern up force allowing the bow to be finer forward for less drag in waves and chop. Ease of handling in reaching and running conditions was a prime driver in the design process to ensure that this boat can be just as dynamic as the smaller and marginally lighter TP52’s that it will compete against.
The keel package for the IRC 55 features a solid cast iron fin and ‘T-keel’ lead bulb.
