The 424E, 396E and 363E types were revised and from then on were built under the designations Faurby 420, 400 and 370. The two larger types are fitted with wide GRP bowsprits, as can already be seen on the flagship Faurby 460. The stern extensions enclose the anchor gallows, are used to attach the gennaker or code zero halyards, and serve as steps for getting on and off the boat, for which they can also be fitted with fold-away bow ladders.
The Faurby 400 now has a headroom of 2.00 metres in the galley. It is designed to offer a greater sense of space, and the fore and aft cabins have been enlarged. On request, the boat is available with hull windows, two steering wheels and a stern hatch. Construction number 1 was delivered to Germany in the autumn. The Faurby 370 has also been given more headroom in the galley at 1.92 metres, and a first model has also been completed.
There is also news from Faurby's partner shipyard Nordship: the Danes are launching their first Nordship 360 DS (deck saloon) with electric propulsion powered by lithium batteries and a generator from Fischer Panda
Yachts from Faurby and Nordship will continue to be built as individual one-offs with a variable interior layout as well as materials and surfaces according to the owner's wishes. The boat should be able to travel at six knots for six to seven hours on battery power alone.
