Sweet… FAREAST 23R

FAREAST 28R har väl uppfyllt förväntningarna och sålt bra både i Sverige och utomlands. Nu följer man upp den med en lillasyster på 7.43 meter, FAREAST 23R. Frågan är om man kan göra om samma trick i ett segment där det redan finns starka entypsklasser.

Priset för en seglingsklar båt på trailer i Sverige (utan motor och instrument) landar på drygt 390.000 inkl moms.

Vi hoppas på provsegling i januari då första båten landar i Sverige (och en annan på Düsseldorfmässan).

Based on the lines of the FAREAST28R, the FAREAST 23R is just a bit smaller and therefore easier to tow around and launch from a ramp. Fitted with the typical Fareast reverse bow and wide transom, the FAREAST 23R sails easily upwind and can become furious in a good breeze downwind with the centrum fitted bowprit. Speeds in the mid teens are no exception at all.

A lot of emphasis has been put in a very efficient deck lay-out so that the boat can be sailed by any sailor. Certainly aimed as a grand-prix boat compared to the competition, but by no means intimidating.

The FAREAST 23R is designed with a generous ballast ratio of 44%. This in combination with the high form stability but low wetted surface, makes the FAREAST 23R a stable but slippery yacht.

The demise of a backstay enables a very modern rig plan with square-top mainsail and big fore triangle, but at the same time no difficult runner lines to be handled in a gybe.

The pedigree from the bigger sister stays the same, high quality built, exiting performance
at a very attractive price of USD 29.800 ex.VAT including a Main, Jib and Gennaker!
