On Test - Jeanneau SunFast 3300

[@rcpmac]

The boat Shirley Robertson raced to 2nd place in the 2021 Fasnet.

[@simonharby5537]

Wow! Love it.

[@fabienh3943]

It's a great review without an ounce of chauvinism, which is rare enough to get noticed. With a bit more euros in my pocket I'd have "a hard time" choosing between a Pogo 30 or 10.5 and this modern beauty. Happily Corona craze released us from struggling with that type of dilemmas 😉 Nice review!

[@Chien_Saucisse]

A de nombreuses reprises je trouve vos commentaires sur des sites que je visite, apparemment on aime les voiliers et les voiliers performants en particulier. Je serais curieux d'échanger qqs avis avec vous. En espérant vous lire ;)

[@fabienh3943]

@@Chien_Saucisse Lol Je donne bien trop d'avis surtout. C'est un vilain défaut, et une envie d'échanger probablement. J'adore le sujet étant débutant en voile après bcp de windsurfing et kite. Et du coup mes préférences vont aux voiliers qui planent. Je possède un Super Câlin qui devrait le faire très bien d'ailleurs. Et vous?

How about Dehler 30 od ?

[@fabienh3943]

​​​@@istra70The Dehler 30 was in Düsseldorf last year. It was love at first sight, but I'm not rich enough for the lady. She's a fabulous boat. Even the new Sun fast 30 doesn't match up.

@@fabienh3943 Yeah, it is absolute beauty but a bit on dear side. Would love to see more how they are doing on regattas with their handicap ....

Excellent review!!

[@viarnay]

6knots upwind at 30º are very good numbers

[@danstanford3071]

That was 32 degrees apparent. I wasn't too impressed by that, am I wrong?

[@danweyant707]

@@danstanford3071 closer to 7kts, double handed, in chop? Yes.

[@thaiiexpat10]

question - I love this design boat but I want a fast boat to go long distances. Can I do this boat is 45', 2 on board, and turn it into a fast cruiser? I personally hate going slow and I hate not being busy. Looking for a solution.

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

Retire. You'll won't have time to sleep.

The spinnaker reach looks as exciting as that reach in a Thistle - but more stable and way easier.

[@FXPL9277]

Nice boat. But what a messy cockpit!

[@philiphookham8135]

Yesterday I was sailing my Bavaria 33 in a force 5, gusting 6, on a broad reach at 8+ knots when "Leyton" came past like I was standing still. Must have been doing over 12 knots & made it look easy. My wife likes the comfort of the Bavaria but convincing her to go sailing at all is becoming more difficult every year. I gave up racing when I bought the Bavaria as it's a cruiser. I think Jeanneau are onto a winner with their new boat. It's an awesome package. How much is it by the way ??

[@Nils_Hammarsten]

20000$ or more

[@jenfirth8032]

Would this boat be a bit frisky for anyone other than an offshore racer?

[@cawfeedawg]

a bit frisky? well I prefer performance sailboats offshore because they keep me engaged with the boat. Most cruisers put me to sleep out there and for me that's just too dangerous.

[@bodywood]

Surprised you didn't mention the main development that enables short handed sailing is the asymmetric spinnaker. The traditional harum-scarum comes week gybes are an organisational marvel.

[@JD-hs7ib]

He is not trying to be accurate he is advertising smelly french boats. This does seem to be a nice smelly french boat.

Both contributors speaking with no umms or ahhhs. It's a rare ability to speak to camera without hesitation. Part of it is a trained ability. The other comes from knowing what you are talking about.

[@Greatlakessailing]

Windvane for going long distances?

[@danweyant707]

Modern short handing generally doesn't- all powered systems. I think.

[@markcampbell7577]

A keel line stem to stern academic keeling design reduces heeling over and increases speed of the sailboat. Add the blade keel lwr least wind resistance to the aerodynamic hull. He who keels the sails ahead of the sail effort wins the races.

[@siinnz]

2 metres apart?

[@Greatlakessailing]

Covid social distancing. Its all goofy.

[@rcpmac]

Use common sense man. In 12 knots of wind it doesn’t matter. If you’re becalmed it does.

[@philippesails4973]

The Singaporean member of the CIO vetoed the offshore Olympic category. He found it too dangerous.

[@bobbob6472]

they thought about pretty much everything, well except a built in preventor for outside gybes, but like most of us, an old broken baton will do.

[@markcampbell7577]

Fully keeled headsails and mast is certainly a faster sailboat design. The true classic design is stem to stern academic keeling design.

[@markcampbell7577]

Blade keel the headsails and mast while keeping the planing Hull might be the top speed sailboat. 3 to one headsails to mast. 300 Genoa. Single handed blast.

[@gregknipe8772]

background music came forward a bit too much, great review.

[@stevenk6638]

I guess they expect the crew to live in the cockpit 24/7 because there is so little time spent reviewing below deck !

[@fabienh3943]

Well, that's a relief considering 95% of yacht reviews are about their caravaning ability 😉

[@TheBeingReal]

There are a few reviews for below deck. It is a racing boat #1 so it’s pretty sparten!

[@markcampbell7577]

Can you convince your designer to keel the mast and headsails correctly in relation to sail area. Blade keeled stem to stern. Deep stem and keeled mast. We don't keel the boom here.

[@markcampbell7577]

Hey put some Edison generator in the engine room.

[@SA-zv4wr]

All due respect, why would I get a Jeanneau if I have more attractive offerings for short handed performance sailing as Dehler, Azuree AND ultra fast M.A.T. ?

[@philippechevereau9818]

S A sail them and you may make an educated comment. And you forgot JPKs!

Better keeling would take out the heel and increase the speed of the boats. Expert programs make the Auto pilot better than average pilot.

Cockpit is a mess. If it’s so well designed, then there’s time to straighten up the cockpit. Texas

[@keithmoorechannel]

What a disaster of lines in the cockpit. Get organized.

[@markcampbell7577]

You need displacement in the bow and keeled mast and headsails. Some electric motor with edison generator powered. Lame gold instead.
