3 Farr280 Gweilo GBR2801X

YEAR: 2015
CURRENT PRICE: £89,950 tax paid
LOCATION: Cowes, UK

Farr280 Gweilo is a fabulous example of this high performance sportsboat.

Formerly sailed under the moniker Toucan, this boat won the HP30 Season Points Championships in 2020 and 2021. This year, under new ownership, Gweilo continued her winning ways, with three wins and a second in the four events entered.

Gweilo has benefited from significant upgrades and optimisation over the years to make the boat as competitive as possible under IRC and within the HP30 Class and drier and faster on the race track, including: custom foredeck hatch, low profile carbon mast and boom, optimised HP30 Class sailplan, new wiring (2021) and spinnaker shute.

Professionally maintained since new, and with a superb inventory of sails, electronics and associated equipment, Gweilo represents a great opportunity to secure a class winning boat for the 2023 season.
