The Fareast 18R is a modern sailboat designed by Simonis-Voogd and built by Far East Boats in Shanghai, China. It features a lifting keel with a lead bulb, a roller furling jib, a bowsprit for an asymmetrical spinnaker, and an open deck. It can be raced with a crew of 3.
A variation of the Fareast 18R, the Fareast 18 shares the same hull, rig, and sailplan, but features a small cabin in lieu of a reduced deck.
The Fareast 18R / 18 has been recognized with the "2014 Best Boat" award by Sail magazine, and was also nominated to the "2014 Boat of the Year" award by Sailing World magazine.
