It isa design signed Simonis-Voogd the new FarEast 28 R, an eight-and-a-half-meter (by 2.75-meter wide) that aims to become one of the new benchmark one-designs. Already in Asia it is proving to be a winning boat, thanks in part to its excellent power-to-weight ratio. In fact, its displacement is 1,200 kilograms, compared to a respectable sail plan with a 27.8-square-meter mainsail, a 20.2-square-meter jib and an 80-square-meter gennaker (which takes advantage of the presence of the retractable bowsprit). www.seaway.it

Watch him below in action during a test in Sweden. This, and many other videos, on the March Sail Journal youtube playlist.
