Overview

About this vessel

Designed by the renowned Dutch Naval Architects Simonis-Voogd, the Fareast 28R is purpose-built for exhilarating sailing with just a crew of four.

Sparrow is arguably the best-specified 28R in the country, making her a standout in both one-design racing and club competition, where she regularly outperforms larger rivals.

Constructed by Fareast Yachts, the world 27s largest ISAF-approved builder of Optimist and 420 dinghies, Sparrow is built to internationally recognised CE standards: High-density foam sandwich with vacuum-infused fibreglass skins, precision pre-weighed resin application, reinforced hull with internal ring frames, carbon keel fin and rudder for strength and lightness.

Her huge cockpit is designed for efficiency and comfort, easily accommodating four to five crew. The helmsman benefits from neatly arranged rope controls within easy reach, adjustable backstay, fine-tune mainsheet control, and traveller for precision sail trim.

Stylish, modern sports yacht from a world-class yard. Impressive racing pedigree with premium sail and equipment upgrades. Spacious cockpit and ergonomic layout for fast, competitive sailing. Antifouled and berthed at RPAYC 2D available for inspection today.
