RASCAL - 1998 40' 9" CARROLL MARINE FARR 40 ONE-DESIGN
Sarnia Ontario Canada
($42,925 USD est.) $59,999 CAD

RASCAL IS A LIGHTLY MODIFIED FARR 40 ONE-DESIGN WHICH WAS EXHAUSTIVELY REFIT IN 2018

Purchased in 2016 with a plan to completely rebuild the hull and deck

Competed in the 2019 Port Huron - Mac Race and a handful of club races

Out of the water 2020 through 2022 due to Covid constraints
Shallow water in the lake near the club in 2023 has made it difficult to operate RASCAL and residual effects of Covid on crew bank have limited sailing to a some club racing and day sailing

The rebuild has resulted in a very dry, stiff hull and deck, benefitting performance in all conditions

The modifications from the standard Farr 40 One Design are a slightly increased waterline length, the result of straightening the stem from raked to plumb. Also, the chamfer on the sheer line was increased for enhanced crew comfort

The interior was freshened with a new paint job. The layout lends itself equally well to both day racing and distance racing 

RASCAL offers a lot of potential as a serious line honours contender for a first-to-finish oriented buyer

She comes with delivery/daysail dacron mainsail, 3 jibs and Code 0.
3 spinnakers, in racing condition are included
