I agree with Jeff on his comments. I have owned an Express 27 and a Frers 30 and raced against all three for close to 20 years. The build quality on the Express is far superior to the Frers (Carroll Marine). I had to completely rebuild my Frers 30-- complete interior removal, new structural grid, etc.. to make it safe to sail!! My observations are that the Farr is faster than the Frers in light air, but slower in heavier air. The Express seems to be a little better in all conditions.
