In 2015, Alex Simonis from Simonis Voogd Yacht Design, was approached by Peter Jacops of Disabled Sailing Thailand, to design a safe, modern, sporty and most of all affordable boat for the para-sailing community.

As a pro-bono project, the design was made available for free to "do-it-yourself" builders, and several boats have been built to date around the world.

During the summer of 2018, Alex Simonis and Ms. Demolar DU, CEO of Fareast Boats, came together to discuss series production of the S/V14. As Fareast is a company devoted to sailing, we liked the idea behind the S/V14 project and committed ourselves to produce the first 1000 boats at a subsidized price for those sailors with a disability. The Standard model will only cost 3000 USD ! This price is nerely symbolic representing the cost of material kit of the S/V14.

There are six different versions of the S/V 14, to allow the boat to be used over the widest possible range of requirements for adaptive sailing, allowing even those with a more severe level of disability to compete in the class by making use of the electric actuator controlled tilting seats.

As with all models from Fareast Boats, the S/V 14, comes with a vacuum infused hull with a sandwich shell. The rudders and lifting keel fin are made in carbon, and the cast iron bulb is encapsulated in glass.

When: Tuesday 22nd of January, at 3pm.
Where: BOOT Düsseldorf, Hall 15, stand D39
How: Presented by Ms. Demolar DU, CEO Fareast Boats and Alex Simonis, Simonis & Voogd Yacht Design // SV14.ORG
