Fazisi is an 82-foot (25-metre) aluminium-hulled racing sloop, launched in 1989. She was built in Poti, Georgia, then part of the Soviet Union, for the specific purpose of entering the 1989–1990 Whitbread Round the World Race with an all-Soviet crew; she came eleventh out of 23 entrants, despite expectations that she would not be ready to take part. She was the first and last global racing yacht to represent the Soviet Union.
After the race she took part in some international events, broke a speed record, and was used as a charter vessel. She was for some years owned by the Polish Yachting Association of North America. She was almost destroyed in a hurricane in 2017, but was recovered, bought by a private owner, and in 2025 was being prepared for restoration in Florida.
