Jeanneau Sun Fast 3300

A proven podium performer, this 2022 Sun Fast 3300 combines cutting-edge offshore racing design with a race record that speaks for itself. Campaigned successfully by PBS Director Lee Condell and co-skipper Lincoln Dews, the yacht finished 2nd in the Double-Handed Division of the 2023 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, following a series of podium performances in the CYCA Bluewater Pointscore lead-up races. Under her current owner, she has continued to perform at the highest level, securing 2nd Overall in the 2024 Melbourne to Davenport Yacht Race and 1st in Division 2 in the 2023 race. Carefully specified for all-round offshore performance, this example has been lightly used since and is ready to take her next owner straight to the front of the fleet.

The Sun Fast 3300 has rapidly established itself as one of the most competitive modern offshore race yachts, equally at home in twilight racing, club regattas, coastal classics or serious offshore campaigns. Across Australia the class has delivered outstanding results, including: Podium finishes in the last three Hobart races in the double-handed division, 1st Overall fully crewed in the Gold Coast to Mackay Yacht Race, 1st Double-Handed in the Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, 1st Crewed in the CYCA Short Offshore Series, Overall winner of the RPAYC Bluewater Pointscore three years running.

Preparing a yacht to Category 1 offshore standard requires significant time, expertise and investment. This Sun Fast 3300 has already benefited from that meticulous preparation, giving the next owner a highly refined, race-ready package. Thoughtful upgrades make sail handling faster and easier, particularly for short-handed sailing: Cars on the triple-reef mainsail for rapid reefing and sail changes, All-Purpose reefable headsail on hanks to minimise headsail changes, Twin Karver furlers for the Code 0, J0 and staysails, Twin tack lines (including one 2:1), Twin spinnaker sheets with tweakers for seamless sail transitions, Numerous upgraded blocks and additional deck hardware. A Cyclops forestay load sensor provides real-time rig load data, displayed on the onboard plotters, allowing precise monitoring of forestay tension when adjusting the runners.

With its carbon mast and water-ballast system, the Sun Fast 3300 is designed for stability, power and speed offshore. The twin rudder configuration and powerful hull form deliver exceptional control when pushing hard downwind. A clever addition is a custom rack over the liferaft recess supporting a GoFlex 120A solar panel, reducing the need to run the engine while maintaining battery charge during offshore passages.

Instrumentation is a sophisticated mix of performance and reliability: B&G H5000 system, Garmin GNX120 Maxi mast displays, Twin B&G Vulcan plotters in the cockpit, Autopilot controls at both helms, NAC3 autopilot system, proven to perform exceptionally well offshore.
