Not as elaborate as Paul Wallaces’ design from an earlier article,  if you remember  Paul’s unit automatically dispensed the water out into the cockpit and was made from special material glued together.
Here you need to use your trusty bucket to deal to the excess water from this modified
vinegar bottle.

For under $20, I purchased this hatch catch from Oborns Nautical in Christchurch and installed it in about an hour.

Owners of Farr 6000s should be aware that there is a risk of significant injury from the lower retaining hooks for the outer hatch slide bungees

Over heard during a jovial exchange between two Farr 6000 owners, after withdrawing from a regular Saturday race in strong conditions “don’t laugh David yours will be next to break” ended up being a prophetic statement.

When Mike and Lesley decided to go cruising with 15 month old Bronte they faced the dilemma of how to stop her falling out of the forward berth.

This Farr 6000 had cracks developing from the corners of the slot at the top of the mast support.

Ask any Farr 6000 owner and they will tell you that one of the things that make the boat so special is the pop top.

The keel lockdown rope is an important but often underutilised safety feature. A knockdown with the keel not locked down may result in the keel retracting with subsequent loss of righting moment.

At the end of the 2000/01 season I gave my Farr 6000 trailer a good honest going over and decided that it was overdue for a tidy up. The durotorques had little or no travel left and had bottomed out, the main frame had LOTS of rust and almost every roller had jammed up.
