The Spirit of Yachting looks at the 2016 Rolex Farr 40 World Championship held in Sydney, Australia.

A design classic that has lasted the test of time, the Farr 40 class celebrates 19 years as a front running Grand Prix type yacht at the Rolex Farr 40 World Championships in Sydney, Australia. Fiercely competitive, the event demands precise teamwork, consistency and determination and has captivated the sailing community since its inception in 1997. A potent mix of amateurs and professionals engage in hand-to-hand combat in a one-design fleet where a single error over four days of racing can signify winning or losing this coveted world title.
