"Sparrow" the Fareast 28R is a stylish sports yacht that ticks the box on the latest performance, styling such as rear-sloping razor-sharp bow and wide, low slung hull with minimal cabin structure.
The design hails from one of Holland's leading naval architect firms (Simonis-Voogd) and is bang up to date in delivering fast sailing potential with just a crew of four.
Sparrow is arguably the best spec'd 28R in country and has been turning heads in both the one design and local club racing scene against many other larger boats in her division. She has mostly an Evolution sails package including a brand new set of working sails. Her Raymarine instrument package is able to keep the crew honest and in touch with small performance gains on the water. She has a longer carbon prod for added performance plus a brand new rudder fitted in July this year. The rudder is deep which gives the helm loads of grip and confidence especially on the windy days ripping down the harbour.
The Fareast yard was founded in 2002 and is the world's largest ISAF-approved builder of junior Optimist and 420 class sailing dinghies and now build a range of small yachts broadening their offering to the market.
The construction of the Fareast is to internationally recognised CE standard with high-density foam sandwich in fibreglass skins. The fibreglass resin is pre-weighed and vacuum-infused.
Keel fin and rudder are made of Carbon, infused in an alloy mould. The hull is further reinforced by a series of internal ring-frames.
She has a huge cockpit space with plenty of room for her intended crew of four, or five to move across the boat easily during a tack. The wider hull means more room aft for the helmsman, who has neat rope controls either side including adjustable backstay, mainsheet fine-tune control and traveller.
Antifouled and berthed at the RPAYC and available for inspection at any time.
