    2010 China Cup International Regatta will greet a new one design class--- Fareast 26, the latest keelboat made by Shanghai Far East FRP Co., Ltd., one of the largest sailboat builders in China. This time, six FE26s are going to compete in international race following its presence in China's City Clubs Regatta held in this June in Qingdao when a fleet of 11 FE26s served as the sole racing boat.

    With its successful debut at Dusseldorf Boat Show this January, FE26 marked the manufacturer’s expansion into keelboat market based on its years’ of experience and expertise in dingy building. Designed by SIMONIS VOOGD, FE26 is a modern design with beautiful short lines and innovative features, suited both for racing as well as leisurely cruising. It’s easier to handle no matter experienced sailors or amateurs. During the regatta in Qingdao, with light breeze of 4 to 6 knots in 6 races, Fareast26 could still achieve good sailing performance.
