The Fareast 18R represents a pivotal moment in the expansion of Shanghai Far East FRP Boat Co., transitioning the builder’s expertise from world-dominating dinghies like the Optimist into the competitive realm of entry-level sportsboats. Designed by the acclaimed naval architecture firm Simonis Voogd Design, the 18R was conceived as a high-performance, cost-effective platform for sailing schools, club racing, and youth transition. It effectively serves as the "entry point" to the Fareast racing family, sharing the aggressive design DNA of its larger siblings, the 23R and the 28R. Built using advanced vacuum infusion technology and high-quality vinylester resins, the hull is remarkably light and stiff, ensuring that the vessel responds to trim adjustments with the immediacy of a dinghy while maintaining the stability of a keelboat.
