Overview
About this vessel
<div>
<p>The Sun Fast 36 is one of those <strong>timeless cruiser-racers</strong> that continues to impress. Designed by Jean Berret and Philippe Briand, it delivers a rare combination of <strong>strong performance, balanced handling and genuine cruising comfort</strong> that still stands up today.</p>
<p>With a competitive IRC rating and proven offshore capability, this particular yacht achieved an impressive <strong>6th place out of 20 entries in the Double-Handed Division of the 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race</strong>.</p>
<h3>Proven and Prepared</h3>
<p>In preparation for offshore racing, the yacht underwent significant upgrades in 2022, ensuring reliability and performance for years to come: new rigging, new sails, updated electronics, and new rudder bearings. This is a yacht that is already set up and ready to be enjoyed, whether racing or cruising.</p>
<h3>Performance with Real Comfort</h3>
<p>While the Sun Fast 36 is known for its sailing ability, it also offers a <strong>well-appointed and comfortable interior</strong> that exceeded many of its contemporaries, including models like the Northshore NSX38 and J35.</p>
<p>The build quality is impressive, with <strong>Kevlar reinforcement in high-load and slamming areas</strong>, giving confidence for offshore sailing and extended passages.</p>
<h3>Practical Interior Layout</h3>
<p>Below decks, the layout is both functional and comfortable for cruising: L-shaped galley to port, head to starboard, aft-facing navigation station to starboard with settee doubling as a sea berth, and dinette to port. Accommodation includes twin aft cabins and forward V-berth cabin with hanging lockers. This layout provides flexibility for family cruising or racing with crew.</p>
<h3>Open and Social Cockpit</h3>
<p>The cockpit is simple, functional and well suited to both sailing and entertaining. The <strong>tiller steering</strong> opens up the entire cockpit space, creating a more connected and responsive sailing experience. At anchor, the addition of a <strong>folding picnic table</strong> transforms the cockpit into a relaxed entertaining area. Additional features include transom shower, BBQ bayonet fitting, open bench seating, and three cockpit lockers for storage.</p>
<h3>A Well Loved and Maintained Yacht</h3>
<p>Owned and cared for by a <strong>shipwright for the past 15 years</strong>, this yacht has been maintained to a high standard and presents in excellent condition.</p>
<h3>A True All-Rounder</h3>
<p>This Sun Fast 36 offers a compelling balance of <strong>performance, strength and comfort</strong> whether you are looking for a yacht to enjoy fast and rewarding cruising, compete in club or offshore racing, or spend extended holidays onboard.</p>
