Better is the enemy of good - this expression best describes what successful model maintenance looks like at Faurby Yachts. The Danes are true masters at revising their boats and creating real added value in the process. Now the shipyard has once again taken on its entry-level model 325. Extensive modifications to the mould have increased the freeboard by ten centimetres, enough to allow headroom from the saloon to the foredeck. Incidentally, the hull length has increased slightly, and the model designation 325 has become 335 E.
The 325 was a very lively boat that had to be sailed quite actively even in moderate winds due to its large sail area. Many potential owners found it too sporty for sea sailing. That's why the Danes have also made changes here. The keel now has more ballast, which significantly increases stability. In addition, the rudder has been lengthened and now offers even better control.
The detailed test will appear in one of the next issues, if you can't wait: From 23 to 25 May, the Faurby 335 E will be on display at the Ancora Boat Show in Neustadt.
