2001 Farr 40 Surf Rider – Proven Winner, Race-Ready
Originally campaigned as Bob Hughes’ Heartbreaker and later as Bright Hour, Surf Rider is a pedigree Farr 40 with a winning history—including a North American Championship title. She has since been refreshed and optimized for both one-design and PHRF competition.
This boat features the sought-after wheel steering option, a full B&G H5000 instrument package with performance processor, and an extensive sail inventory. Notable upgrades include a Trogear retractable bowsprit and masthead spinnakers, giving her the versatility to excel in both distance and buoy racing.
Surf Rider is clean, fast, and ready to go—ideal for an owner eager to step into the Farr 40 class or dominate on the handicap circuit.
