the boat was originally named the mumm 30 after its original title sponsor champagne mumm. after his sponsorship ended in 2007, the class then rebranded to farr 30, using a modified version of the farr 40 class logo. both the farr 30 and 40 had been under the management of geoff stagg since their inception; however, in 2009 the farr 30 class owners association assumed control of the class.
