Brokers Comments:

VENOMOUS, is a Farr CM 60, custom built by Carroll Marine of Bristol, Rhode Island – USA and sold through Berthon International. A sister ship to NUMBERS and HISSAR, VENOMOUS is an exciting and easily handled yacht with many recent IRC optimizations; this is a competitive racer. This yacht is very fast for its size with excellent handling ability and an emphasis on light-air performance with substantial downwind sail area. Carbon fibre composite construction, with loads of interior space and a large workable cockpit, VENOMOUS is sturdy and perfect for offshore distance racing. The CM 60 concept was established to meet the client’s demands for an exciting but easily handled yacht, competitive under multiple racing handicaps, with the ability for simple conversion to a performance cruiser at some time in the future.
