The Farr 40 Worlds is one of the world's most recognized sailing events celebrated annually. With each new edition, an exciting destination is chosen.

In June 2009 the 12th annual event was contested at the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in Porto Cervo, Sardinia . Twenty five teams took part in the regatta, which was won by Class President Jim Richardson's (USA) Barking Mad and went down to the final race.

The regatta travels to the Caribbean for the first time in 2010,  to the Yacht Club Casa de Campo and Casa de Campo Marina, in the Dominican Republic. Twenty to twenty-five boats are expected to compete for the title April 21-24, 2010.   In 2011 the event returns to Sydney Australia.

Sponsored by Rolex, each championship celebrated finds the sport's top professional athletes joining amateur owner/driver teams comprised of some of the world's most influential businessmen and women, as well as top amateur crew, and attracting the attention of the sailing enthusiasts and international press.
