The ultimate single-hander
The 3.7 offers a unique experience that no other small dinghy comes close to matching.
What the sailors have to say.
Peter Kovesi To me [the 3.7 is] my ideal single-hander, fast and fun, yet accessible to most sailors. Its rig is not so large as to make the boat overwhelming in our usual sea breeze. The hull is compact and easy to store, it can also be built down to weight without resorting to exotics. |
Eamon Withers I have been sailing the Farr 3.7 for 2 years and I believe it to be the best choice of boat for me. I started in a open skiff which I then grew to long for, and too big for a Starling. On the first sail dad said not to worry about the wire, but within 20 minutes we were wiring with a grin from ear to ear. Its a great boat I wouldn't say it is unforgiving but if you are not on your game it will chuck you in the tide. I have learnt so much and plenty more to learn, all whilst having the most incredible fun. To be planing out on the wire on a reach almost feeling like you are flying. |
Hamish Hall-Smith My time in the 3.7 took me from being a 14yo with no skiff experience to jumping into A-Class and 12 footers. The development skills I learned were invaluable, the class was welcoming, and I had so much fun. 
Dennis Shepherd I spent 10 years in the 3.7 Class [...] I won the National Championships four times and thoroughly enjoyed those years. I then moved on to bigger, faster and more complex yachts but the 3.7 gave me wonderful grounding in all aspects of yacht racing. I am a Life Member and still follow the Class activities and contests with interest. |

Who sails 3.7s?
If you are between 50-80kg, you will be able to sail a 3.7 competitively. Due to this wide weight range, the class hosts all ages and levels, from juniors (who are bored of the standard fare), to adults and older folk alike.
The 3.7 is the fast, fun, affordable and flighty skiff. Some pass through, others never leave - all have a blast!
