2020 FarEast 19R

This high performance (but highly stable) one design sailboat was designed by the award-winning Dutch firm Simonis Voogd, was manufactured in February 2020. I purchased the boat in September 2021, it was stored indoors and then launched on our freshwater lake in central Maine in June and sailed through the summer until September and then moved to indoor storage.

The hull and deck were manufactured with high tech vacuum bagged vinylester and finished in high quality SX gelcoat. The keel is a vertically retractable carbon fiber T-keel with a 600 pound lead bulb. The rudder and tiller are also 100% carbon fiber. The rig is supported by single rear swept spreaders (no backstay). There are low stainless steel stanchions and padded lifelines, along with molded in non-skid on the deck and nicely located foot supports, handy when heeled. No hiking straps are needed. The Selden mast and boom are aluminum, all hardware is by Harken and the lines are by the Austrian firm Robline. The mainsail and jib are radial-cut using Contender Sailcloth ZZ Racing Black Aramid laminate sailcloth. The nylon asymmetrical spinnaker is bright red and has never been flown. It launches from a storage bag that ingenuously clips into the companionway, and is flown from a retractable aluminum bowsprit. Dealer installed accessories include Raymarine i70s electronics (wind speed, wind direction, water depth and boat speed) hardwired to a digital display in the cockpit. Auxiliary power is provided by an ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus (a 3 horsepower equivalent) electric outboard with padded factory carry bags and custom covers. It includes a stainless steel Motorloc. The outboard looks and works flawlessly and has about 4 hours of time on it.

International relocation means we need to sell.

Equipment: Includes a Marine Cradle Shop P-2000 galvanized steel trailer, with keel support and launch/loading guide posts. It also 79 inch tongue extension to ease ramp launching when using shallow boat ramps. Other accessories include a full factory boat cover, a keel lifting winch assembly, North Sails roll bags for the main and jib, a Lee Sail Covers jib sock to cover the roller furling jib, a factory mainsail cover and custom Sunbrella covers for the tiller, rudder head and outboard motor.
