The Sun 2500 is one of the best Jeanneau models under 26ft that they ever produced. Isla has a lifting keel and twin rudders to allow her to dry out occasionally. The very large cockpit is great for entertaining plus the four berth layout has a separate heads compartment for excellent privacy and inboard diesel for reliable motoring. Isla has the benefit of 2024 sails, 2023 headsail furling system, 2021 keel removed and refurbished and much more.
