Farr STP 65 Design Concept Farr Yacht Design developed the first design of the new Storm Trysail-Transpac 65 for Rosebud owner, Roger Sturgeon. The Storm Trysail-Transpac 65 (STP 65) is a high performance, light displacement, fixed keel box-rule class announced in August 2005. In the months that followed, Farr Yacht Design worked closely with Bill Lee and others to assemble this new Box Rule. Roger Sturgeon and his project manager, Malcolm Park, were also an integral part of the rule creation and commissioned Farr Yacht Design to design their first boat of this class. Westerly Marine of Santa Ana, California, was commissioned to build Rosebud.
Rosebud, an all carbon fibre pre-preg construction, was built to strict STP-65 box rule specs. ATL Composites manufactured custom DuFLEX interior furniture components and floors that were constructed with aramid honeycomb and AIREX structural cores, laminated with carbon fibre skins. All components were QA'd to meet tight tolerances in weight and strength for the box rule spec. |
