RACE YACHTS

Most recently Jeanneau has directed its Sun Fast range to creating uncompromising short-handed racing boats. The emergence of single and double-handed racing has been driven by Jeanneau’s Sun Fast 3300 and 3600 models. With large fleets entering classic races, Sea Ventures is the expert leader in setting up Sun Fast yachts that are immediately ‘on the pace’. The Sun Fast 3300 and 3600 speak for themselves on the world racing stage and Sea Ventures is the place to buy one – either new or second-hand.

Short-handed sailing has grown substantially in the last few years, and Sea Ventures has been at the centre of developing this great new format in the UK and beyond. So it was only natural that when the Farr design office and Project Manager Brett Perry created a new race-winning boat they would choose Sea Ventures to represent them in Europe. The Farr X2 design with its dreadnought bow, chamfered foredeck deck and chine from mid-bow aft is ultra-stiff and light. The hull’s low CofG (with resulting high righting moment) has allowed the team to concentrate weight low in the fin and bulb keel. Twin cassette rudders, and a deck layout that incorporates a coachroof overhang, leave you in no doubt that this no-compromise short-handed racer with a provisional TCF of XXXXX is the new reference design for this short-handed racing.
