A little farr 5000 trailer sailer

[@jmkenny]

Surprising good looking and a lot of usable space for 16ft! Very nice score for sure!

Did you end up keeping her?

[@petergrundy8081]

I had one of these

What is the sailing performance like with the 5000 Jason? Keep up the good work. Love watching your work.

better than I expected but defientely a boat for lighter conditions. Going forward is difficult with the narrow decks and high cabin top. I think room wise they are great, but sailing wise i think the hartely 16 is far better in many ways.

@@mycrazyboatlife cheers mate. That's probably the question i should've asked was "how does it compare to the Hartley". Cheers mate. Love watching ya videos.

Interesting video. I also have a Farr 5000 and aim to do sailing at Lake Aviemore this summer. What outboard are you using?

[@mycrazyboatlife]

Hey, that sounds fun. i used a 5hp but only because I had one. I reckon a 3hp would be fine to. A 4hp or a 5hp. I think bigger would be lost on it but it depends of course how much you intend to motor. I grew up in dunedin and timaru so know that area quite well. Be fun sailing there. When I was a kid my dad had a hartley 18 and we went to sailors cutting, but it was a bit before I could remember. It got in to my bones though! enjoy
