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
Recently, shallow water around the home club make it difficult to navigate locally and residual effects of the pandemic on crew bank have limited sailing to some club racing and day sailing
The rebuild has resulted in a very dry, stiff hull and deck, benefitting performance in all conditions
RASCAL offers a lot of potential as a serious line honours contender for a first-to-finish oriented buyer

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
