Boat Overview
The Sun Fast 3300, built by Jeanneau, is a Verdier/Andrieu designed rocket ship full of advanced and unique features. Verdier has designed some of the world's fastest Mini 650's, Class 40's, and IMOCA 60's, while Andrieu has a string of successful IRC & IOR race boats to his name. Together, they have created a blisteringly fast, competitive IRC short-handed racer/cruiser with an enviable race record. Give the 3300 some wind, and she's off like a scolded cat!
"BUG" has a very special spec with many custom features and is ready to hit the race track with a high modulus carbon rig, custom water ballast system, North 3Di RAW Sails, B&G H5000 electronics, and much more. A very special boat at an equally special price!
"BUG" has been dry sailed from new and is ready to go for a 2025 Fastnet Campaign.

Manufacturer Provided Description
The Sun Fast 3300 is the brainchild of Guillaume Verdier and Daniel Andrieu, whose collaboration guarantees high performance and success under a variety of rating rules. Taking advantage of Jeanneau’s long history of infusion manufacturing, every part of the 3300 is infusion moulded, dramatically reducing the all-up weight of the boat while increasing stiffness. Combining the light hull with twin rudders, carbon rig, generous sail plan, and straight keel, the 3300 will excel as an offshore racer. Sailing fully crewed, double, or single-handed, the Sun Fast is a truly exhilarating boat, not to be missed.
