'Sparrow' is a striking Fareast 28R, a stylish sports yacht that combines cutting-edge performance with contemporary design. With her razor-sharp, aft-sloping bow, wide low-profile hull, and minimal cabin structure, she turns heads both on and off the water.
Designed by the renowned Dutch Naval Architects Simonis-Voogd, the Fareast 28R is purpose-built for exhilarating sailing with just a crew of four.
