What the walkthrough covers
This is the full tour of “Brno,” the Farr 50 currently listed with us in Honolulu — not a highlight reel. We shot it the way we’d show the boat in person, because most of the people asking about her are on the mainland or another island and can’t walk the dock this week.
On deck
The Farr 50 is a sloop with a deck layout built for a small crew to handle a big boat: wide side decks, a deep working cockpit, and hardware placed where you can actually reach it under load. The video walks the foredeck, the fore peak locker, the cockpit and helm position, and the current sail wardrobe — which is new.
Below decks
Four staterooms and three heads is a lot of accommodation in fifty feet, and the tour spends most of its time down here. That includes the full-beam master, the guest cabins, the heads, and the galley and saloon — the spaces that decide whether a boat works for the way you actually use it, rather than the way the brochure imagines you will.
Systems and the engine space
The walkthrough opens up the engine space around the 110 HP turbo diesel, and covers the bow thruster, the new chart plotter at the nav station, and the general state of the systems. The boat has had fresh bottom paint and a full survey including the rig; we’ll send the survey to anyone seriously considering her.
Why a Farr 50 is worth nine minutes of your time
Bruce Farr’s office has designed boats that won the Whitbread and Volvo Ocean Race five times — a record. That pedigree is not marketing language bolted onto a cruising boat; it is the reason this hull moves the way it does. A Farr 50 is a genuinely fast passage-maker that happens to have four cabins in it, which is a rarer combination than the listing price suggests.
For Hawaii specifically, that matters. Every boat here either crossed an ocean to get here or was built here, and the ones worth owning are the ones that can leave again. This is one of them.
Watching this from the mainland? That’s most of the people who contact us about this boat. We do live video walkthroughs on request — you pick the boat, we walk it with you on a call and open whatever you want opened. Then if it’s worth a flight, you fly.
The honest cost conversation
The most common question we get after this video is some version of “what does it actually cost to keep her here?” It is a fair question and the answer is not zero. A berth in a state harbor, insurance the State requires you to carry, haul-outs, and Hawaii’s very enthusiastic bottom growth all add up, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something.
We’d rather you know the real numbers before you buy than after. Read what Hawaii actually requires you to insure, and where you can realistically keep a boat on Oahu.
