This Farr 40, launched in September 1985 for John and Philip Parker was built for the purpose of contesting the NSW Southern Cross selection trials. She was constructed by Glass Yachts with personal involvement of designer Bruce Farr and sailmaker Bob Fraser as project director. Fraser has been appointed skipper of the boat for the Southern Cross Cup, and his knowledge and experience of these boats should exert Another Concubine some advantage over her sisterships.
