The Farr 30, originally called the Mumm 30, is a sailboat that was designed by Bruce Farr as a one design racer and first built in 1995.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

The boat was the one design class for the Tour de France à la voile from 1999 to 2010, until it was replaced by the M34 in 2011.[9][10][11]

The design was originally named for its sponsor, champagne producer G. H. Mumm. When the sponsorship ended in 2007, the class was renamed after the designer instead.[12]

At one time a World Sailing international class, it gave up its status in 2018 and the class club ceased operations in 2020.[12][13]
