FAREAST 19R
Built on the company’s fast and powerful 28R model, the Fareast 19R is a smaller entry from the China-based company that’s earned a reputation for building high-performance sailboats with an eye toward value. Starting at just under $24,000, the Fareast 19R has performanceminded elements including a backstay-less mast with a square-top main, Harken hardware, a retractable bowsprit, a carbon fiber rudder and a retractable, carbon fiber T-shaped keel with lead bulb. There’s room for four in the cockpit and you can trailer and easily rig the whole package onsite at your next regatta or weekend sailing venue.
