This razor-sharp looking yacht shows that Far East and Simonis-Voogd are on top of their game and underlines the ability of the partnership to be truly innovative
Completely built in carbon fibre, using vacuum infused vinyl-ester resin, this ultra-lightweight hull/deck structure carries an extremely large lead bulb on a carbon strut. The modular construction of the bulkheads, keel, and mast support have all been fabricated in female moulds and bonded in place with the highest precision.
This construction method ensures a bulletproof yacht able to sustain long and hard racing. Built with great attention to detail as found in the beautifully crafted “bow-foils” and “asymmetric spi” chute system perfectly integrated with a clean deck layout. The striking (and unique) spoilers at the bow optimize the air flow into the genoa for maximum performance.
To further compliment the quality of the FAREAST 31R, only top of the range deck gear (by Harken), spars (by Selden) are used to satisfy the needs for top level racing.
Far East is determined to become a serious player in the offshore racing yacht market by continuously searching for and implementing the latest techniques and innovations
The FAREAST 31R has been designed with only one goal in mind: to be the fastest 31ft one-design racing yacht in the world.
For this, the yacht features an ultra-lightweight carbon fibre hull/deck structure carrying a 1.200 kg lead bulb, resulting in a ballast ratio of over 60% which will guarantee high all-round performance.
The modern hull shape with its flat aft run allows for exhilarating downwind sailing. Boat speeds into the twenties are definitely achievable (that is if your nerves can handle it !).
The Selden carbon fibre mast with twin running backstays enables this powerful yacht to carry a large square top mainsail.
The diverters on the backstays will tighten the forestay in upwind conditions,making sure maximum pointing ability and boat speed are achieved. The deck layout is kept clean as all control lines are situated under decks. Downwind a large asymmetric spinnaker is launched from the built-in chute on the foredeck preventing the need of any crew on the bow, allowing the yacht to maintain level trim and maximum boat speed during sail manoeuvres.
“The FAREAST 31R brings grand prix racing to everyone, corinthian and professional sailors alike.”
With the launch of the FAREAST 31R, Simonis-Voogd and Far East are changing the definition of “Racing” in the yachting world. The highly recognizable hull and deck is full of innovations and built with precision to deliver an exact quality to bring you ultimate racing experience with adrenalin pumping boat speeds.
A new era will start with this “game changer”; racing will never be the same again. The team has put all its innovative powers into creating an ultimate racing machine and setting a new standard with a number of novel features on and below decks of the FAREAST 31R.
The dedicated craftsmen of Far East used their highly technological skills to turn these innovative features into reliable components on the yacht to create the optimal racer for the professional sailing circuit. This new masterpiece highlights Far East’s winners’ mentality: to be the best in everything they do.
The yard’s experience of being a supplier to Olympic and World Championship teams, combined with the expertise of Simonis-Voogd, has proven invaluable in the creation of this yacht.
