The Farr 585 Deck Saloon will be the latest in the range of our brand new deck saloon’s and is still in the development stage. Due to be completed in late 2005 and she will follow the theme set down by it’s predecessors the new Farr 645 and 525 Deck Saloon Yachts. The stunning looks and sleek lines of the Farr 585, coupled with a deck layout to cater for most requirements, a hull by Farr Yacht Design, styling by Mark Tuckers “Design Unlimited” and the renowned build quality of BSI Marine will make this new boat stand out.

The 585 with its high volume hull will be attractive for the long-term cruising couple who want the extra volume required when living aboard but still want a boat that is easily handled by a couple. In keeping with the other deck saloons the performance will be a priority. A carbon fibre rig and Park Avenue boom for the fully battened main will be standard. There will be no overlapping headsails, runners, checks or a babystay and the deck will be kept as clear as possible of all ropes with the jib sheets being run under the deck to the winches aft.

She will have twin cockpits with the forward one being protected by a Sprayhood, which will fold into a recess in the coachroof. A Bimini will be available. A Divinycell foam core will be used for the 585 with E Glass and vinylester resin in the hull and deck. Stiffening will be provided from an internal bottomgrid structure made from a female mould.
