Description
X-DAY – Farr GP42 2.60
X-DAY is a highly competitive Farr GP42 2.60, offering an impressive combination of proven race-bred design, modern performance upgrades and an extensive sail and equipment inventory. Built in pre-preg carbon with a foam-core construction, she is a lightweight, high-performance racing yacht designed for both inshore racing and offshore competition.
The carbon rig comprises a high-modulus Southern Spars mast and boom with twin spreaders, fibre rigging and running backstays. The headstay was upgraded to a composite system in 2017.
The electronics package includes a B&G H5000 processor, B&G GFD displays, Garmin GNX 120 mast displays, Vesper Cortex AIS/VHF and a Thrane LT-500 compass. The electrical system was comprehensively rewired by Voltsport in 2017 and has subsequently been upgraded with lithium batteries and Bluetooth monitoring.
